Fluidity refers to the ability of a substance to flow and change shape when subjected to an external force. Liquids, such as water in this case, exhibit fluidity because their particles can move past each other relatively easily while still maintaining some cohesive forces.
The smell of hot sizzling food travels several meters due to the high kinetic energy and rate of diffusion of its volatile particles (शीघ्र वाष्प रूप हो जाने वाला).
