The transformation of a physical state of a substance into a different physical state is called a phase change. An example of this is water changing from solid (ice), to a liquid (water), to a gas (steam).

When a substance from any state of matter to another is called a?
This is called a change in the physical state of the substance. For example formation of ice from water is a change in the physical state of water.
What are the Definitions of chemical and physical changes?
A physical change is a change in the physical state of a substance. An example of a physical change is water turning to ice (a solid) when frozen. Its state of matter has changed, but it is still the same substance (water).A chemical change is a change in the chemical structure of a substance(s). For example, when oxygen and magnesium react, they form magnesium oxide (a different substance). The chemical state of both the oxygen and magnesium atoms involved has changed.Equations:Oxygen + Magnesium --> Magnesium OxideO2 + 2Mg --> 2MgO
Why melting snow is a physical change?
because it goes from the physical form of a solid to a liquid thus a physical change.
A metal melts at 450 degrees celsius is the property of the metal classified as chemical or physical property?
chemical. when it melts, it doesn't mean it changed into a new substance. it just changed physical states! it is still a metal. physical state is a physical property of any substance, so when it changes physical state, as in changes to liquid, solid or gas, it is still the same substance.
Physical state of substances properties and behavior at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure?
The physical state of a substance in relation to its properties and behavior at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure will simply be the lowest energy state for the substance. This is the state that the substance can't help but go back to, unless energy is put in to do otherwise.
Is State chemical or physical?
A physical state is physical and not chemical Physical Property is observed without changing a substance into another substance. Chemical property is the ability of a substance to change into different substance.
Does a physical change make the substance that undergoes it a different substance if not then what can change?
After a physical change a substance does not change its chemical composition it simply changes its state as, water to ice or vapours.
How is physical. change different than a chemical. change?
physical changes can be not permanent like solid-liquid-vapour chemical changes are permanent if not reversible
A change in matter that does not produce a new and different Substance?
a physical change ex. change in state
What happened to a substance when it goes through a physical change?
A physical change is one in which the shape, size, appearance or state, of a substance may alter, but its chemical composition remains same.
When matter changes state does become a different kind of substance?
Changes of state of matter are physical processes, the molecule remain unchanged.
What is the physical state of the products?
A physical state of a substance is whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
How are molecules arranged in substances?
It depends on the substance and the physical state of the substance.

A physical change in a substance?
A substance can take on three physical states: Solid, liquid, or gas. The main physical changes from a thermodynamic standpoint are the amount of entropy(disorder) of the molecules of the substance. Density, temperature, volume are also characteristically different at each physical state and can be used to manipulate compounds between the three.
What physical property can identify a substance?
state of matter for example,you cannot say a liquid is water because it is liquid,so state of the substance is a physical property that is very uncertain in deducing what the substance is.
