air08 Visualisation by beads: Liquid air expands extremely during evaporation

Left photo: Due to very low mobility the molecules of nitrogen N2 (bue twin beads) and  oxygen O2 (red twin beads) as well as atoms of argon Ar (big bead) are close together in liquid air.
Right photo: During evaporation the mobility of these particles increases extremely resulting in a much bigger demand for space.
