  2. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    In SI units, number density is measured in m −3, although cm −3 is often used. However, these units are not quite practical when dealing with atoms or molecules of gases, liquids or solids at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, because the resulting numbers are extremely large (on the order of 10 20).

  3. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    The image loop on the right shows monthly average of water vapor content with the units are given in centimeters, which is the precipitable water or equivalent amount of water that could be produced if all the water vapor in the column were to condense. The lowest amounts of water vapor (0 centimeters) appear in yellow, and the highest amounts ...

  4. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    A molecular solid is a solid consisting of discrete molecules. The cohesive forces that bind the molecules together are van der Waals forces , dipole–dipole interactions , quadrupole interactions , π–π interactions , hydrogen bonding , halogen bonding , London dispersion forces , and in some molecular solids, coulombic interactions .

  5. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    In a solid, constituent particles (ions, atoms, or molecules) are closely packed together. The forces between particles are so strong that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape, and a definite volume. Solids can only change their shape by an outside force, as when broken or cut.

  6. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).

  7. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    Solid: A solid holds a definite shape and volume without the need of a container. The particles are held very close to each other. Amorphous solid: A solid in which there is no far-range order of the positions of the atoms. Crystalline solid: A solid in which atoms, molecules, or ions are packed in regular order.

  8. Monolithic HPLC column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolithic_HPLC_column

    A monolithic HPLC column, or monolithic column, is a column used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The internal structure of the monolithic column is created in such a way that many channels form inside the column. The material inside the column which separates the channels can be porous and functionalized.

  9. Standard state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_state

    The standard state of a material (pure substance, mixture or solution) is a reference point used to calculate its properties under different conditions.A degree sign (°) or a superscript Plimsoll symbol (⦵) is used to designate a thermodynamic quantity in the standard state, such as change in enthalpy (ΔH°), change in entropy (ΔS°), or change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG°).
