Program 5: A
Matter of State
Matter is examined in its three principal states – gases,
liquids, and solids – relating the visible world to the submicroscopic world
that cannot be seen. This program
reveals, at the molecular level, how changes in matter occur, enlarging the
idea of models from the previous program.
Journey through the exciting world of chemistry with Nobel laureate Roald Hoffman as your guide. The foundations of chemical structures and their behavior are explored through computer animation, demonstrations, and on-site footage at working industrial and research labs. Distinguished scientists discuss yesterday’s breakthroughs and today’s challenged.
