Ice
How to use: Click Solid, Liquid, or Gas.
Same particles every time — only the arrangement and the temperature change.
Ice → Water → Steam. Notice the marker on the graph jumping between the three
parts of the heating curve.
Notice: the particles never change — only how they're arranged and how fast they move. Cold solid = locked lattice. Room-temperature liquid = touching but sliding. Hot gas = far apart, moving fast.
