They aren't.
Aqueous is labeled as such because it is not naturally, when looking at the elements individually, liquid at room temperature. The otherwise solid or gaseous material is liquid at room temperature because of hte bonding and the effects of that bonding.
Water is a good example. Hydrogen and Oxygen are BOTH gaseous separately, but together, they are aqueous.
A true liquid would be Mercury. Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
I have dealt with Fluorenone and Fluorene, lots of organic molecules in aqueous states and so on and they weren't clear. In fact, most of the time they are other colors.
Liquid is purely meant for anything in its elemental form that is of a liquid state naturally. Technically, everything that isn't Mercury, Gallium, and Bromine is aqueous if it is in liquid (as in state) form at room temperature. That means it is a compound of sorts, like Water, Hexane...so on...Why are all aqueous solutions clear?
their not
Aqueous is derived from rootword aqua meaning water which is of course clear unless contaminated.And eous meaning for the eyes.
