Learn English – Idiom request for “the reverse is also true”

idiom-requestsphrase-requests

Vice versa is a idiomatic, concise way of expressing that the converse (other way around) of the preceding statement is also true. E.g:

Matter that has lowest boiling point will boil first, and vice versa (matter that boils first will have the lowest boiling point)

I would like to know if there are also idioms/short expressions for stating that the reverse (opposite of the entire preceding statement) also holds true. i.e:

Matter that has lowest boiling point will boil first, and ……. (matter with the highest boiling point will boil last)

What can I put in ……. ?

Best Answer

Conversely

conversely (ADVERB) Introducing a statement or idea which reverses one that has just been made or referred to.

To reverse your sentence, 'lowest boiling point' must be reversed to 'highest boiling point' and 'will boil first' becomes 'will boil last.' (of course you have provided this reversal yourself)

Matter that has lowest boiling point will boil first; conversely, matter with the highest boiling point will boil last.
