¶ Liquid
Index Entry
Liquid:
“Double bonding provides a hinge between the tetrahedra which are still flexible and forces being applied telegraph throughout the whole system. Liquids have this extraordinary quality of distributing forces. Yet liquids are noncompressible: you find that if you put tetrahedra edge-to-edge that you cannot compress them any more. The coherence of the liquid’s viscosity is twice that of the gases inherently.”
