For a one-component system draw a schematic labelled phase diagram given that at low T and low p, only phase γ is present; at low T and high p, only phase β is present; at high T and low p, only phase α is present; at high T and high p, only phase δ is present; phases γ and δ are never in equilibrium. Comment on any special features of your diagram.
