The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious under the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found on the surface of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and _1_ it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but _2_ to diffuse throughout the space available; it must therefore be kept in a closed container, as _3_ a planet’s atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories _4_ the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be “dissolved” in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are _5_ different kinds of molecules. The theories now prevailing _6_ a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure, and they both flow easily. They are fluids.
The _7_ similarity of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat _8_ a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands, or in other words, becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. _9_, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature and pressure at which the densities become equal is called the critical point. Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be _10_: there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.
