Pick a phase Professor 04/23/15 (Thu) 17:44:04 No.90

If you were to get a sinlge molecule of something, water for example, would phase would it be said to be in - solid, liquid gas etc.

What is the purpose of this thread?

It has none. Phase is how strictly packed molecules are, which obviously is impossible if there is only one. That's like asking if a room is cramped if you're the only one inside.

Liquid

Assuming this is possible, it'd be gaseous.

Physical states depend on cohesion and interaction with neighboring molecules.

Liquid state: a molecule slides around with its neighbors, kinda like holding hands and running around.

Solid state: a molecule sticks to its neighbors, kinda like being taped to eachother.

OP YOU COCKSUCKER, NEUTRONS CAN HAVE A PHASE, JUST LOOK AT NEUTRON STARS AND THAT SUPER-FLUID SHIT BRO???

this question has actually been my line of research for 12 years now. I've studied this concept in 7 different universities and I've come to the conclusion that the answer is simply the letter Q.
