M06: Frozen Racquetball |
||||||
|
||||||
 Description: |
||||||
|
Show that the raquetball is semi-flexible even though it is solid because of the relation between molecular bonds and temperature. Hold the ball in liquid nitrogen with tongs until it stops bubbling. Explain that the bonds are now tighter and that when something has no flexibility anymore it will break. Smash it! |
