At this stage it may be explained that the electrons or atoms of electricity can in some cases make their way freely between the atoms of ponderable matter.
We shall confine ourselves here to a few remarks on the more important questions which concern the nature of ponderable matter.
But while modern physics restricts itself to the study of inorganic forms of energy and their conversions, chemistry, as the science of matter, takes up the study of the qualitative differences between the various kinds of ponderable matter.
This applies equally to the various kinds of matter which we call the chemical elements, or ponderable matter, and to the ether that fills the spaces between the atoms and molecules, or imponderable matter.
From our previous comparison of the older conception of the four elementary conditions of nature with that now held of the three states of ponderable matter, we may expect that the fourth state will have something in common with heat.
In other words, where does nature show levity concentrated in a limited part of space - that is, in a condition characteristic of ponderable matter?
Science looks on heat simply as a condition of ponderable matter.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "ponderable matter" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
