What does the attraction between molecules determine?

• How well the molecules mix

• Whether a substance is a solid or a liquid

• The shape and color of the molecules

• The size of the molecules

What does the Simulation not indicate?

• Whether a substance is a solid or a liquid

• The level of attraction between molecules

• The shape and color of the molecules

• The behavior of molecules at the nanoscale
