		Classification of Matter ^Votes:0 Back to Contents! Next: Do We Take Atoms... Up: MATH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE Previous: Introduction to Chemistry Classification of Matter Hot-air balloonists must understand the relationships between pressure, temperature, and volume of gases. Experimental studies to derive these relationships were the beginning of chemistry. A chemist will usually classify all "stuff" that has "substance", i.e. matter , in the following manner. Definitions and examples are given below. This classification scheme, although seemingly straightforward, is the result of centuries of investigation and thought! In fact, after we list the results, we will trace how some of the ideas developed - paying attention to the comments expressed above. Classification is usually part of the early stages of understanding scien Read More Go to Site

		States of Matter ^Votes:0 States of Matter David Young Cytoclonal Pharmaceutics Inc. At the beginning of their first chemistry class, students are taught that there are three 'states' of matter; solid, liquid and gas. From that point on, additional 'states' of matter are introduced at regular intervals. Many of these states are well defined and have interesting properties, while others seem to be intermediate between commonly found substances and difficult to define or recognize. The following is a listing of the various states of matter with a brief description for each. There are several different types of states of matter. Gasses, liquids and solids are examples of physical states which can be treated separately from electrical states, magnetic states and optical states. A given substance will have a physical st Read More Go to Site

		The Unnatural Museum - Experiment in Making Hydrogen. ^Votes:0 Making Hydrogen from Water Early balloons, that didn't depend on hot air, used the gas hydrogen for lift. Later on hydrogen was replaced by helium as the gas of choice. Hydrogen gave good lift and was cheap to get, but was also very explosive. Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe and can be made by splitting a molecule of water apart into two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Here's how you can do it at home. STEP 1: Get two pieces of wire about six inches in length each. Strip off any of the insulation leaving only the metal core. STEP 2: Find a nine volt battery. STEP 3: Get a glass filled with water and mix in a couple of teaspoons of baking soda (If you don't have baking soda you can use salt instead). STEP 4: Wrap the wires around the battery terminals and th Read More Go to Site

		BEM Research ^Votes:0 Atomization Research Simulations shown below were conducted with a series of codes based on Boundary Element Methods (BEMs) and homogeneous flow modeling. The boundary element methodology permits solution of incompressible, inviscid free-surface problems by placing a series of nodes only on the boundary of the domain . The free-surface in the models is resolved to full 4th-order spatial and temporal accuracy. More recently, dense spray simulations are under development using a Lagrangian drop/Eulerian flow (LDEF) approach within a homogeneous flow model. The research is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Dr. Mitat Birkan.

Matter is also related to light and electromagnetic radiation. Even though matter can be found all over the universe, you usually find it in just a few forms. As of 1995, scientists have identified five states of matter . They may discover one more by the time you get old. You should know about solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and a new one called Bose-Einstein condensates. The first four have been around a long time. The scientists who worked with the Bose-Einstein condensate received a Nobel Prize for their work in 1995. But what makes a state of matter? It's about the physical state of molecules and atoms.

		Introduction: Three States of Matter ^Votes:0 Next: Deformation of Solids Up: Solids and Fluids Previous: Solids and Fluids Introduction: Three States of Matter Matter comes in three states that are distinguished by the strength of the bonds holding the molecules of the matter together. The three states of matter are: Solids: The strong bonds between molecules make solids rigid and very difficult to deform. Liquids: The relatively weak bonds between molecules allow liquids to be deformed without effort. Liquids have a fixed volume, but their shape is determined by the shape of the container holding them. Gases: Virtually no bonds exist between gas molecule so that gases can spread into any available space. The volume of a gas is determined by the size of the container holding it. www-admin@theory.uwinnipeg.ca 10/9/1997 Read More Go to Site

It illustrates several important concepts in statistical mechanics/kinetic theory, such as: mean free path and average time between collisions, the approach to thermal equilibrium and the Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution, and the question of macroscopic irreversibility vs. microscopic reversibility. To use the applet, enter a number in the text field, click "Set", then click "Run." The "molecules" are spheres of radius one pixel (the default value; you can change the radius to two pixels by clicking in the "Make particles bigger" box) and do not interact except when they come in contact; then they scatter elastically.

Juni 135, 10623 Berlin, Germany Since school we destinguish mainly three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. But it was already at the late nineteenth century, that some scientists were in doubt of that classification. Solids, namely crystals, are highly ordered, the constituting atoms or molecules possessing positional as well as orientational order. On contrary, simple liquids like water or gases exhibit no order at all. The arising question was: How can biological systems be classified. Obviously they are highly ordered, but no crystalline solids. This was the beginning for O. Lehmann, F. Reinitzer, L Gattermann, D. Vorl?nder, Read More Go to Site

		Matter ^Votes:0 matter , anything that has mass . Because of its mass, all matter has weight (if it is in a gravitational field ) and inertia . In physics , the three common states of matter are solid , liquid, and gas; scientists also recognize a fourth, plasma . Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity showed that matter could be converted to energy according to the equation E=mc 2 , where m is the mass and c is the speed of light . All matter is composed of elementary particles . The states of matter are forms of matter differing in several properties because of differences in the motions of and the forces between the molecules (or atoms or ions ) of which they are composed. The molecules of a solid are limited to vibrations about a fixed position, so a solid has both a definite volume and a definite sh Read More Go to Site

The other part involves teaching them what the answers mean.
