the concept of phase state can also be applied to social change.
it can be impossible to predict the point/moment at which serious social change - good or bad - takes place. just as if one had never seen water boil before it would be difficult to predict what change would occur as the temp approached 212 F, it may be impossible/difficult to know at what point serious social changes might occur in a complex system.
an analogy: a mechanical levered light switch may move through a near-180 degree arc, but at some point the contact is made and the light goes on/off. if one had never seen this occur and did not know the underlying mechanism (which is certainly true for most factors in complex social situations!) it would be hard to predict what would happen at some point in the lever's movement.

∙ 13y agoBecause the only part of matter changed in a object is the formation of atoms inside not breaking any bonds in any molecule or atom but only the formation

∙ 11y agono, they are physical changes related solely to temperature and pressure.

What is the transformation of a physical state of a substance into a different physical state?
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 platinum is heated then cooled to its original state is a physical change?
physical change, because the platinum is restored to its original state.
Are state changes physical or chemical changes?
A change of state: Solid <-> Liquid <-> Gas A change of state is a physical change.
What change is melting consider because energy is gained by the substance as it changes states?
Melting is a phase change in which a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. Changing phases is also a physical change.
Can a liquid crystal display be called a state of matter?
Liquid crystalline state is a transtion phase between solid and liquid. It can be called a state of matter - it has its unique physical properties (anistropy of physical properties), which makes it different from solids or liquids.
What is it called when the three states change?
changes of state are called phase changes.
What is the transformation of a physical state of a substance into a different physical state?
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).
Melting is an example of a?
Melting is an example of a phase change. The substance is going from the solid state to the liquid state.
What is the process called when a substance changes its physical state but not its chemical state?
This process is most generally called "phase transition". Specific example include dissolution, melting, freezing, condensation, and allotrope transitions.
When a solid changes state to a liquid what is it called?
sublimation and phase change
When matter changes from one state to onother what is it called?
A phase transition.
When the physical state of a substance changes during a phase what happens to the temperature of the system?
The temperature remain constant during a change of phase.
When matter changes from one state to another is called what?
Physical changes.
When platinum is heated then cooled to its original state is a physical change?
physical change, because the platinum is restored to its original state.
Is a change in phase a chemical or physical change?
A phase change is when matter changes into another form but keeps its properties.For example, ice melting into water is an example of the phase change melting.The main types of phase changes are melting, vaporization, freezing and condensation.- Melting is when a solid turns into a liquid.- Freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid.- Vaporization is when a liquid turns into a gas. Boiling is a form of vaporization when the change takes place throughout the liquid. Evaporation is a form of vaporization in which the phase change takes place only at the top of the liquid.- Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid.- There is also sublimation, which is when a solid turns directly into a gas.- Deposition is when a gas turns directly into a solid.
Into what will a gas turn when it condenses?
It becomes a liquid; this physical change is called liquefaction.
Are state changes chemical or physical changes?
Physical Changes
