Most likely the phase of the substance is liquid
- Since the substance occupies only one half of the open container and atoms are just able to slide past each other so it's a liquid.
- Liquids generally don't have a fixed shape so they take the shape of the container they are kept in. Same way it occupied half of container here.
- Moreover, Since the atoms are closely packed but still able to move so it can be observed that it's a liquid because properties of liquid lies intermediate between solids and gases.
- Hence, correct answer is liquid phase.
