This article is a 'stub' page, it has no, or next to no, content. It is here at the moment to help form part of the structure of SklogWiki. If you add sufficient material to this article then please remove the {{Stub-general}} template from this page.

These are usually first-order phase transitions, except at critical points, where the order turns second-order; for supercritical points, the two phases become one. Between the two phases in coexistence a liquid-vapor interface of molecular size is formed.
