What is absorbed or released when matter changes from one state to another?

yes. Matter can change state when thermal energy is absorbed or released.


Can energy be released when matter can it be absorbed can a change in matter in matter take place in which energy is neither released nor absorbed?

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.

Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?

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.

What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?

"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.


When matter absorbs a photon what is the relationship between the energy of the matter before and after the absorpion and the frequency and the wavelength of the radiation absorbed?

After the absorption, the matter has added energy equal to 'hf' the energy of the absorbed photon.
