Change of State Example, States of Matter and Intermolecular Forces, Chemistry
A problem from a chemistry textbook is posed on the screen. In this problem, ethanol is used to illustrate the amount of energy, in joules, required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The boiling point of ethanol is given, and...
Khan Academy
States of Matter Follow-Up, States of Matter and Intermolecular Forces, Chemistry
Sal continues his explanation of the states of matter by focusing on hydrogen bonds. This time, he uses plasma as the substance being studied, and explains how the hydrogen bonds change as the substance goes from solid to liquid to gas.
