Liquid is a state of matter that has intermolecular forces of attraction higher than gas but lower than solid. Liquids have an intermolecular distance between molecules that is in between the intermolecular dis
What are the common units of pressure? List them in order of smallest to the largest unit. Pressure: Pressure is defined as the normal component of the force acting per unit of area on a surface. Any force acting on a surface can be resolved into two components,...
Water boarding has been around for centuries. It was a common interrogation technique during the Italian Inquisition of the 1500s and was used perhaps most famously in Cambodian prisons during the reign of the Khmer Rouge regime during the 1970s. As late as November 2005, water boarding was on...
These examples of harm reduction play out in our daily lives. As a society, we should apply a similar approach to tobacco. Research shows that in any given year, more than nine out of ten smokers will continue to smoke. There are around one billion smokers in the world, and based on ...
a liquid conforms to the shape of the container in which it is held. Although this is similar to a gas, a liquid does not expand to fill up the container like a gas. Examples of liquids at room temperature (about 20 degrees Celsius or 68 degrees Fahrenheit) include water, oil, alcohol...
Figure 1. Gases, as a state of matter, are less rigid than solids and liquids. Because the particles in a gas are so widely distributed across the volume, the gas can be compressed with little difficulty. A liquid has a fixed volume and cannot be easily compressed because the particles ar...
A few examples of milliliter in real life are: Example 1: 500 ml tomato ketchup Example 2: 750 ml cooking oil Example 3: Bottles of hand sanitizer: 250 ml, 50 ml, and 20 ml Milliliter and Other Units of Volume In this section, we’ll see the relationship between milliliters and cu...
- Liquids: These are fluids that have a definite volume but no definite shape. They can flow and take the shape of their container. - Gases: These are fluids that do not have a definite volume or shape. They expand to fill the entire space of their container. 3. Examples of Fluids: ...
What is an alloy? The structure of alloys Substitution alloys Interstitial alloys How do alloys behave? How are alloys made? Some common alloys and what we use them for Find out moreWhat is an alloy?Photo: This sample of a titanium-zirconium-nickel alloy is being made to levitate (float...
As the temperature rises, more microstates become accessible, allowing thermal energy to be more widely dispersed. This is reflected in the gradual increase of entropy with temperature. The molecules of solids, liquids, and gases have increasingly greater freedom to move around, facilitating the spr...
