States of Matter, States of Matter and Intermolecular Forces, Chemistry

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The three states of matter are the focus of this chemistry video. Sal uses the example of a water molecule and explains in great detail the forces present that allow the molecule to change between a liquid, a solid, and a gas. Of course, the temperature to which the molecule is exposed is the most important factor, but the molecular changes that take place are what he discusses here.
