Abstract
This article describes the current understanding of molecular arrangements in the liquid state and how they can be related to fractal aggregates. A simple model of cluster fractal geometry is found an approximation to the realfluid. More complex approaches using the multifractal function and experimental measurements are more practical for the study offractal aggregates in liquid. The critical state is a special example where the fractal behavior is shown through the critical exponents.
