3.1.2: Basics- The Molecular Basis of Matter

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This simulation shows particles interacting with a slight attraction which will cause them to stay connected with each other to form a a solid at low temperature. But if they have enough thermal energy they will begin to move around each other to act like liquid. Additional thermal energy causes them to act like a gas.
