Hello, members of OT.
Out of pure curiosity, I've been trying to find any specific information that might be of help to the question I ask in the title. I know it might seem dumb at first glance, and it may be so, but I can't help but wonder:
Do molecules of a liquid (not a crystal, so any liquid with isotropic properties), e.g. water, form any type of particular temporary patterns?
In the particular case of water, being a compound of polar bonds, I wonder if molecules in the liquid state would favour forming localised crystalline, albeit not lasting, repeated patterns like the ones one sees in crystalline solid water.
Thank you in advance for entertaining my silly questions.
