Abstract
As the name ‘condensed phases’ suggests, molecules in liquid and solid states of matter are much closer together than in the gaseous state. Since chemists work mostly with solids, liquids, and solutions it is of great importance to understand the nature and properties of substances in these phases. We can approach this understanding by first considering how the condensed phases are created.
