We Humans have known for thousands of years, just looking at our environment around us that
-
there are different substances, and these different substances tend to have different properties, and
-
not only do they have different properties; one might reflect light in a certain way, or not reflect light
-
or be a certain colour, or at certain temperature be liquid, or gas, or be a solid,
-
but we also start to observe how they react with each other in certain circumstances.
-
And here's pictures of some of these substances. This right here is Carbon, and this is in it's graphite form;
-
this right here is Lead, this right here is Gold,
-
and all of the ones that I've drawn, that I've shown pictures of here, and I got them all from this website right over there
-
all of these are in their solid form, but we also know that
-
it looks like there's certain types of air, you know, certain types of air particles,
-
and depending on what type of air particles you're looking at
-
whether it is carbon, or oxygen, or nitrogen, that seems to have different types of properties,
-
or there are other things that can be liquid,
-
or even if you raise the temperature high enough on these things,
-
if you raise the temperature high enough on Gold or Lead
-
you could get a liquid,
-
Or if you kind of - if you burn this Carbon
-
you can get it to a gaseous state,
-
you can release it into the atmosphere,
