Atoms can form solids, liquids, and gases depending on their arrangement and energy from "summary" of Atoms Under the Floorboards by Chris Woodford
Imagine a world where atoms are the building blocks, shaping everything around us. These tiny particles are what make up the solids, liquids, and gases that we encounter every day. But how can something so small create such diverse forms of matter? The answer lies in their arrangement and energy.
When atoms are tightly packed together in an organized structure, they form a solid. This close proximity allows them to vibrate in place, creating a rigid and stable substance. Think of a metal rod, where atoms are neatly aligned, giving it strength and durability. Solids are characterized by their definite shape and volume, making them ideal for construction and everyday objects.
On the other hand, when atoms are more spread out and able to move around freely, they create a liquid. In this state, the atoms are still attracted to each other, but not as strongly as in a solid. This allows them t...
