#H_2O(l)#

#l# stands for liquid, as #s# stands for solid (ice in the case of water) and #g# for gas (water vapour).

Water in the liquid phase is represented as H2O molecules that are in close proximity to each other, with the hydrogen atoms bonded to the oxygen atom through covalent bonds. The molecules are relatively mobile and have a specific volume and shape, conforming to the container they are in.
