Thermodynamics : It is a branch of science which deals with exchange of heat energy between bodies and conversion of the heat energy into mechanical energy an
The three states of matter differ from each other due to the following two factors. (1) The different magnitudes of the interatomic and intermolecular forces.
Dimensions of a Physical Quantity. The powers to which fundamental quantities must be raised in order to express the given physical quantity are called its dimensions. To make it more clear, consider the physical quantity force
