man that he is now going to hell where he rot in flames of agony for eternity.
The crowd roars and the man laughs.

Freezing Point
Number of words: 510 - Number of pages: 2.... melting points, but most liquids can
remain liquid even though cooled below their freezing points. A liquid may
remain in this supercooled state for some time. This phenomenon is
explained by molecular theory, which conceives the molecules of a solid as
being well ordered and the molecules of a liquid as being disordered. To
solidify, a liquid must have a nucleus (a point of molecular orderliness)
around which the disordered molecules can crystallize. The formation of a
nucleus is a matter of chance, but once a nucleus forms, the supercooled
liquid will solidify rapidly. The freezing poin .....
