Properties of Matter

We know that matter exists in any one of the three states namely solid, liquid and gas. At the atomic level, these states of matter are distinguished from each other in terms of the nature of bonding among their atoms or molecules. Due to the unique nature of their atomic or molecular bonding, solids, liquids and gases possess characteristics macroscopic properties. In this book, we will study some of these properties of matter such as surface tension, viscosity, and elasticity. These properties have wide-ranging applications in engineering, industry, and even in our day-to-day lives such as twisting couples, cantilevers, the flow of liquid, the law of hydrostatic pressure, filter pump, surface tension, etc. This book also helps to create interest among the readers to know the magic of matter.
