Liquid and/or gas (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

radon

'gas' is the definition.
(radon is a gas)

'liquid andor' is the wordplay.
'liquid' indicates an anagram.
'andor' anagrammed gives 'RADON'.

(Other definitions for radon that I've seen before include "Inert gas that occurs naturally" , "Naturally occurring inert gas" , "Colourless gas, atomic number 86" , "Noble gas, Rn" , "hazardous substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
