The atoms in the solid state are not as strongly bound as the ones in solid state and not as loosely bound as the ones in the gaseous state. This gives them benefits of being in the intermediate stage. As the atoms can easily move, we have fluidity in the liquid state. It can also be easily stored as there are still pretty good bonds between the atoms. This structure also lets them form effective solutions where a solvent and a solute can mix together coherently to form a useful liquid.
