The difference between a gas and a liquid is that in the former, the atoms and molecules move to and fro in an independent existence, whereas in the latter, they are always in touch with one another, though they are… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
Sound is a movement which is handed on from atom to atom in a gas through which the sound is passing, just as a chain of workers pass buckets of water to a fire. The quicker the workers move their… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
Let us think of Nature as a builder, making all that we see out of atoms of a limited number of kinds, just as… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
The infinite variety in the properties of the solid materials we find in the world is really the expression of the infinite variety of… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image

Science is experimental, moving forward step-by-step, making trial and learning through success and failure. Is not this also the way of religion, and especially… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
The chemist, whose science is immediately concerned with the combinations of atoms, has rarely found it necessary to discuss their shapes, and gives them… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image

After a year's research, one realizes that it could have been done in a week. — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
The atoms may be compared to the letters of the alphabet, which can be put together into innumerable ways to form words. So the… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
Broadly speaking, the discovery of X-rays has increased the keenness of our vision ten thousand times, and we can now 'see' the individual atoms… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
In a gas, motion has the upper hand; the atoms are moving so fast that they have no time to enter into any sort… — William Henry Bragg Copy Share Image
