The usual state of a covalent compound (at room temperature) is liquid.
H2O is a covalent compound with polar covalent bonds. In liquid water auto-ionisation takes placeH2O H+(aq) + OH-The dissocation is only very slight.
Baby oil is a covalent compound; it is organic, based on carbon chemistry, which produces covalent bonds; we also see that it is a liquid and not a solid, which would not be expected if it were an ionic compound. Ionic compounds, except when they dissolve in water, are solid (at normal temperatures).
Solid AlCl3 is ionic. Liquid and gaseous AlCl3 is present as a covalent dimer, Al2Cl6. At high temperatures the dimer dissociates to form the planar covalent monomer AlCl3.
A compound with only covalent bonds will not conduct electricity as a liquid. However, some salts with covalently bonded ions, such as tetra-methyl ammonium chloride, will conduct electricity when melted.

Yes, they are covalent liquid, an ionic compound is always solid.
It dissolves into a liquid.
something
More gas dissolves into the liquid.
It could be solid, liquid or gas depending on the compound.

It mixes with the liquid this is a reverible change

Well in most cases the material will sink.
