    • Demonstrating Void Space in Solids: A Simple Demonstration To Challenge a Powerful Misconception

      Mary Whitfield , Ed Vitz
      Journal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 749

      The concept of bridging analogies is used in a simple demonstration to illustrate the substantial quantity of empty space that remains when solid spheres are packed together. The same demonstration also shows that the percentage of empty space is ...
