Solids and Liquids

Mr. Andersen explains the properties and differences between solids and liquids, using a Venn diagram to compare them. He discusses intermolecular forces, phase transitions, and the characteristics of amorphous and crystalline solids. The video also covers the properties of liquids, such as viscosity and surface tension, and introduces the concept of volume of mixing. Heating curves are used to illustrate phase changes, and a simulation from PhET is employed to visualize these concepts.
