Phases and Classification of Matter – We have defined the main types of matter and phases in class but there are new developments all the time.
In what condition/situation would a substance with properties of multiple phases be beneficial? Why? (ScienceNews) (Nield)
At some conditions a substance may be in two phases (or even 3 phases) at the same time. When would this be beneficial or useful? Why? (University of Edinburgh)
We only discussed 3 phases of matter. There are technically ‘four’ or ‘five’ depending on recent literature. Discuss how these are different from what we discussed and what importance they may have. (Galey)
