Diagram above shows water in solid form made up of ice cubes in a glass, when melted at room temperature it changes to a liquid which can be seen in the kettle, when heated, it turns into a gas.
When you store or transport a solid object, you could put on a shelf and can be transported on a lorry, While with a liquid you might store, into a jar and transport it using a pipe, for example tap water uses water pipes. Gas on the other hand is air born and can be transported in the oxygen. What we do is compress it in a glass lab bottle and can be seen as a liquid, but once you release the lid it then escapes from the bottle.
The diagram above shows the space needed for the solid, liquid, gas.
Above is a 3D diagram of the solid, liquid, gas and how it's using the space.
The diagram above shows how the particles behave as a solid, liquid and gas.
The Solid particles, does not move about, while the liquid particles have freedom to move, as for the gas it escapes the container and is air born.
People today have learnt how to make materials change from solid, liquids and gas to meet there purpose,
For example when they abstract gas from the north sea, they compress the gas by 600 times and pipe it to the main land in a liquid form. It's worth mention that metals can be changed into a gas or liquid form. You don't have to heat the metal to achieve this, you just split the material up into a fine dust, then decide if you want it to behave like a liquid or gas.
Part 1 was to explain how humans are changing how particles behave in materials and the basics on how we are transport them. In Part 2 I will exam how nanotechnology is changing the rules on how we transport physical objects.
