Phases of Matter

The phases of matter are liquids, gases, and solids. Liquids are in a total disorder, meaning that all of the molecules it consists of move around the empty space. Gases are found in a smaller disorder where they cannot move as freely, but comparing to the solid stage that is arranged in an order, it can actually move while the solid stay in its original form. The fourth stage of matter is similar to gas, and it is called Plasma. In that chemical compound, certain portions of molecules ionized. Plasma does not have a definite shape or a definite volume just like gas,  unless enclosed in a container. Unlike gases, plasmas under the influence of magnetic fields can form structures such as filaments, beams and double layers.

Chemistry Issues

  One of the few issues in chemistry are also found in green chemistry, also named sustainable chemistry. Green chemistry applies to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and even physical chemistry.That type of chemistry that is mainly a philosophy of research and investigation that minimize the use of hazardous substances. The issues that bother that branch of chemistry the most at the moment are toxic disposal and the Global Warming. The scientists who try to provide a good environment, based on the green chemistry, are trying to reduce the amount of waste and clean the areas for other peoples' and the environment's good.

Absolute Zero Part 1

3 WOWs:

1. What kind of captured my attention the most is the fact that the guy who invented the Celsius scale did it upside down, meaning the settings of the 0 and 100 degrees were switched. 
2. It was amazing to see how easy it was to create a cooler temperature in an interior just by mixing salt with water and some other ingredients. 
3. Lastly, I found it akward that the water as started with weighted the same as the ice that it produced into. 

3 Wonders:

1. One of the things I'm wondering about is why the women had the most influence on men, and if so, why didn't they receive the credits?
2. Also, I wonder why the guy who invented the Celsius scale did it upside down. 
3. How did anyone come to the idea of the liquefied oxygen?
