yes it can be absorbed
It's thermal energy my dear.
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.

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.
"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.

The three changes of state during which energy is absorbed is: conduction, convection, & radiation.
When matter absorbs a photon, the energy of the matter increases by an amount equal to the energy of the absorbed photon. The frequency and wavelength of the absorbed radiation depend on the energy of the photon and are inversely related - higher energy photons have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.
Changes in the states of matter occur through processes like melting, freezing, condensation, vaporization, and sublimation. These changes involve the rearrangement of particles at the molecular level due to changes in temperature or pressure. During these transitions, energy is either absorbed or released.
When matter changes from one state to another, heat is either absorbed or released. For example, when ice melts, heat is absorbed from the surroundings causing the surrounding area to cool down. On the other hand, when water evaporates, heat is released into the surroundings.
Endothermic changes are processes where energy is absorbed by the system from its surroundings. This results in a decrease in temperature in the surroundings during the process. Examples include melting ice and evaporating water.
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.
