The rubber molecule is thousands of timeslarger The moleculesof the gases of which air is composed are very minute. In a single cubic inch of air there are about 500 billion billion molecules. Molecules are always in motion moving in a perfect vacuum. There is no air between the moleculesofair, no iron betweenthe moleculesofiron. It is heat that causes the molecules to dash about; the higher the temperature. the moreviolent the motion. The motionis muchslower and moreorderlyin liquid or a solid. But even ina cold barof steel thereis still some movement and someheat. The molecules are held in their places in a solid or a liquid by the forces of attraction between the molecules. Theelectrical forces which bind the moleculesare strong enough to account for the strength of most solid materials nae FUN TIME The Riddle Box This is the name of a state in the United States.
