CH1 · SOLID
LATTICE
particles ordered at rest
CH1 · SOLID
HARMONY
thermal motion within a crystal
CH1 · SOLID
SOLID
rigid — structure resists shear
CH2 · MELTING
MELTING
the lattice loses its grip
CH2 · MELTING
TRANSITION
solid and liquid coexist
CH2 · MELTING
FLOW
no long-range order — short-range persists
CH3 · LIQUID
MAXWELL
v distributed as v·exp(−mv²/2kT)
CH3 · LIQUID
BOLTZMANN
order emerges from randomness
CH3 · LIQUID
GAS
free particles — mean free path grows
CH4 · GAS
PRESSURE
force per unit area — PV = NkT
CH4 · GAS
CHAOS
deterministic — yet unpredictable
CH4 · GAS
THE BOX
N particles — one periodic boundary
