The limits of the distance at which the negative action becomes positive vary according to the temperature and nature of the molecules , and determine whether the body which they form be solid , liquid , or aëriform .

In aëriform fluids , although the particles are more remote from each other than in liquids and solids , yet the pressure may be so great as to reduce an aëriform fluid to a liquid , and a liquid to a solid .
