States of Matter

States of Matter

Phase Change Molecule Simulation

Description

Ice melts, water boils, and class talks about temperature while rarely showing what the molecules are doing. States of Matter drops neon, argon, oxygen or water molecules into a container, and one push on the heat turns tidy rows into a chaotic scramble, so a phase change is something you can see.

An interaction panel lets you reshape the potential between two molecules and understand why some substances boil more easily.

Features



Heat and cool: Drag the temperature and watch solid, liquid and gas appear.

Several molecules: Choose neon, argon, oxygen or water and compare melting and boiling points.

Interaction tuning: Change intermolecular forces directly and see how phases shift.
