The volumetric expansion or contraction of substances changing between solid, liquid and gas explain many natural phenomena; for example: ice floating on lakes, ice breaking mountains, snowballs and even ice skates. These changes are at the heart of many machines: steam engines, snow makers, refrigerators, gasoline engines and explosives. An atomistic model helps the reader understand what is going on and why these changes occur.
