State of matter is referring to a substances existence as a solid, liquid, or gas. So, a common example would be solid water (we call it ice) changing state to liquid water due to the addition of energy (possibly heat). If energy continues to enter the system the liquid water will change state again to become a gas (steam).
Melting is an example of a phase change. The substance is going from the solid state to the liquid state.
The evaporation of water is an example of a physical change, where water changes from its liquid state to a gaseous state without any change in its chemical composition.
Typically heat changes the STATE of matter from solid to liquid to gas.However, heat can also cause chemical changes for example combustion.
For example heating lead to melting and boiling - changes of matter phases.
Sublimation. It is a physical change, like all state changes. An example of a substance that does this is carbon dioxide (dry ice.)
An example of purely physical changes includes the melting of ice into water. During this process, the ice changes its state from solid to liquid, but its chemical composition (H₂O) remains the same. Other examples include boiling water, dissolving sugar in water, or breaking a glass. In these cases, no new substances are formed; only the form or state of the material changes.
The most simple example is water: gas, liquid or solid.
Melting of ice is an example of a physical change. In this process, the solid state of ice changes into the liquid state of water without altering its chemical composition.
When a substance changes state, its density can change. For example, when a substance transitions from a solid to a liquid state, its density usually decreases. Conversely, when a substance transitions from a gas to a liquid state, its density typically increases.
when matter changes state either evolution or absorption of enrgy occurs for example when a solid changes to liquid or a liquid changes to gas energy is absorbed and in case of conversion of gas to liquid or liquid to solid enrgy is liberated....
Ice melting into water is an example of matter undergoing a physical change. The ice changes from a solid state to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.
All changes of state are physical changes. Nothing happens to the molecules of gasoline when it evaporates, they just get further apart.
