DEFINITION

  • Group collecting variables connected to the aerosol. Comprised of liquid or solid particles, or of liquid particles with a solid core, or of bulk solid material, where the particles are suspended in a gas. An aerosol includes the carrier gas.

In solids, molecules are arranged in a regular pattern, firmly held in place and only able to vibrate within a limited space.
