44. The hexatic phase occurs when molecules are packed together like racked billiard balls, though not held together rigidly by bonds. The particles move about as in a liquid, and a freeze frame would show that there is no long-range order present. The average molecular coordination is 6 as in hexagonal ordering, though there is the occasional fivefold coordinated atom, which will always be situated near one that is sevenfold coordinated.
