THE problem of formulating a rigorous mathematical description of the molecular motion in .liquids has always been regarded as much more difficult than that of the kinetic theory of gases or of solids ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Density and kinetic theory In everyday life, there are three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. The differences between the three states are due to ...

The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have ...

University of Salford provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation UK. When we boil a kettle, we observe what scientists call a phase transition: the water changes from being a liquid to ...

THIS book deals mainly with the “free path phenomena” in the kinetic theory of gases, but this department of the subject is comprehensively treated. Whether the chief object of such a work—namely, to ...
