Is spray Deodorant a liquid or a gas?

It's actually a vapour. The "deodorant" itself is vaporised within the can and then placed under pressure along with an inert gas which occupies the rest of the can's volume - the accelerant. When you spray the deodorant a mixture of the accelerant and the deodorant vapour is released. You can see the vapour as it exits the can and slowly sinks and it's much the same as dense fog, however the individual peices of the vapour are much larger in deodorant.
