Gram-atoms are used to develop the idea of how atoms are arranged in a substance. Nuffield approach only.
The kinetic theory of matter is demonstrated by showing the diffusion of gases in air, the condensation of steam, the evaporation of liquids, and the transformation of liquids into solids. Brownian movement...
Examines the fourth state of matter called plasma and how very hot plasma at temperatures of 100 million degrees can be contained and controlled by magnetic fields.
Examines the physics of elastomeric substances such as rubber and synthetic elastics. Aims to show that, by looking at the statistics and energetics of long-chain molecules, it is possible to account for the...
