States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

States of Matter Jun Ruan Solid Molecules are tighly packed and harder than liquids and gases. Examples: Ice‚ Coal‚ Salt Amorphous solid-a solid which has a disordered atomic structure. Examples: Glass‚ Rubber Liquids flowing freely but of constant volume. Examples: Water‚ Mercury‚ Alcohol Viscosity-a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. Surface tension-the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and tends to minimize the surface

The short story‚ "A Temporary Matter” invokes both positive and negative feelings in a short amount of time with the quote‚ “She would look around the walls of the room‚ which they had decorated together last summer with a border of marching ducks and rabbits playing trumpets and drums. By the end of August there was a cherry crib under the window‚ a white changing table with mint-green knobs‚ and a rocking chair with checkered cushions.Shukumar had disassembled it all before bringing Shova back

Chapter 15: • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. – Ex: Your textbook‚ you‚ your pen/pencil‚ air‚ etc. • Classification systems are used all the time to organize objects. – Ex: The Periodic Table of Elements‚ organizing your locker‚ your clothes‚ etc. • In order to make the study of matter easier to understand‚ scientists have developed ways to classify matter. • The properties of materials can be used to classify them into general categories. – Ex: Pure substances‚ elements

A Matter of Time By Shashi Deshpande. Feminist Press at the CUNY‚ 1999. Reviewed by Sudha S. Balagopal I first read a A Matter of Time a few years ago‚ when it was published in India.

Quinton D. Stallworth 8/28/14 "History Still Matters" By: Bill Moyers (Questions) 1. Moyers compares the study of history to “the view in the rearview mirror.”In what ways is this quote an apt comparison? Much like a rearview mirror you always look in to the past with caution. The longer you look in the past the more you understand your situation much like the mirror while you’re driving. Without either you’d be lost. And Finally just like looking into the past‚ it’s a neccessary effort that

Chapter 2 The Components of Matter Elements‚ Compounds‚ and Mixtures: An Atomic Overview An element consists of only one kind of atom. An element is one kind of substance – the composition is fixed. Each element is unique because the properties of its atoms are unique. Molecules are structures containing two or more atoms chemically bound together. Diatomic molecules are two-atom molecules such as elemental oxygen. A compound is a type of matter in which two or more different elements are chemically

Nicholas G. Carr published this article in the May of 2003. Its purpose was to convey to the reader that IT no longer matters and may no longer be relevant. Carr’s reasoning behind this is that corporations have universally accepted and use IT; this makes the use of IT a commodity and no longer puts the corporation at an advantage over any other using IT. Which means that using IT would no longer be a strategic decision for the corporation. After explaining this Carr offered new rules for IT management
