Condensation
- Why won’t the hard spheres in the computer model below become bound to each other?

Set the number of particles to two or so by using the slider and the Reset button. - The following computer model includes two particles that strongly attract each other. The red one is positively charged and the cyan one is negatively charged. When the simulation is "paused," the electric field produced by the two charged particles is shown. Will these two oppositely charged particles become permanently bound to each other? Why or why not? Note that the bars represent the energy stored in objects by color-coding. Note that you will see their electric field only when you hit the pause button. http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/UnboundPair
- Two attractive particles are among many uncharged “hard spheres.” Will the two oppositely charged particles in the following computer model become bound? Why or why not? Note that the bars represent the energy stored in objects by color-coding. Note that you will see their electric field only when you hit the pause button. http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/Pair_Binding
- Will these many attractive particles bind? Why or why not? What goes on with energy as time goes on? What gains energy and what loses energy according the the energy bars? http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/Non-condensation
- Why do the particles in the following computer model bind, unlike the system in the previous problem? What gains energy and what loses energy in this simulation? http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/Condensation
- Does the droplet of particles in the following computer model evaporate? Why or why not? http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/Droplet
- Does the droplet of particles in the following computer model evaporate? Why or why not? What goes on with energy in this process? http://www.glowscript.org/#/user/pgswack/folder/My_Programs/program/Evaporation
- Is condensation of particles endothermic or exothermic? How about evaporation of particles?
