The behaviour of particles in solids, liquids and gases

A demonstration of the behaviour of particles as solids, liquids and gases. An experiment shows bromine gas being heated in a sealed tube. Cartoon pictures demonstrate the behaviour of particles in their three states - solid, liquid and gas. Solids are shown to have a rigid structure of particles vibrating at fixed points. Liquid is shown with no fixed shape and particles moving around. Gas particles are shown to move randomly and rapidly to fill spaces.
