Yes.
No
yes. Matter can change state when thermal energy is absorbed or released.
Matter can neither be created or destroyed, the same goes for energy
When one or more new substances is created, the change is called a chemical change. A chemical change has occurred if there is a new substance created, there was energy released or absorbed, or the substances no longer exhibit the same chemical properties.
A liquid can expand when thermal energy is absorbed which is known as thermal expansion, but the thermal energy is not enough to change the liquid's state. When there is enough thermal energy, the liquid may change to a gas if the particles move fast enough to escape the liquid or it may change to a solid if the thermal energy is released from the matter.
Condensation
yes
Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.
Yes.
No, a change in matter can't take place without energy being released or absorbed? Why? Well, this is because every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. You can't change matter without a change in energy. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Hope you find this helpful. And yes, this answer has been approved by my science teacher.
a chemical change is taking place
Yes.
yes. Matter can change state when thermal energy is absorbed or released.
Its where heat is taken in in a reaction eg making a cake is an endothermic reaction as heat is taken in to start it ;)
yes it can be absorbed
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
