The substance $X$ normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance $X$ is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance $Y$ which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance $X$ is heated strongly, it changes into a substance $Z$ which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
