Click on both tabs and make sure students notice the differences in the movement of the atoms and molecules. The atoms in a solid are so attracted to each other that they vibrate and don’t move past ...

Have students use their molecules to model what would happen if water vapor was cooled enough to cause it to condense. Students should show the water molecules in the air slowing down and joining ...

These long chains get all tangled up, like a bowl of spaghetti, so they are sort of connected, like the molecules in a solid, but also sort of free to move past one other, like molecules in a liquid.

The four fundamental states of matter are solid, liquid, gas and plasma, but there others, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and time crystals, that are man-made.

Solid-state batteries use solid electrodes and solid electrolytes, unlike the more commonly known lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes. Solid-state batteries overcome various ...

The arrangement, movement and spacing of particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

It could exist in abundance in deep oceans on alien worlds. A new form of ice that acts as both a liquid and a solid simultaneously has been proven to exist years after it was theorized.

Unlike in ice, these bonds are broken and re-formed on average 1 trillion times per second in liquid water, so that the water ...

For decades, our ability to detect molecules in air has lagged behind our ability to detect the same ones in a liquid. Hence the blood tests at the doctor's office, and the pinpricks people with ...
