A representation of liquid and gas phases of bromine in an enclosed bottle. Purdue University has a nice computer animation of the liquid and gas phases of bromine.

A liquid is a state of matter in which a sample of matter
- flows and can change its shape.
- is not easily compressible and maintains a relatively fixed volume
- The particle view or microscopic view of liquid bromine as depicted in the computer animation illustrates
- Liquids are made up of very small particles (atoms, molecules, and/or ions).
- The particles that make up a liquid:
- are close together with no regular arrangement,
- vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
