Often you can make a material change state by heating or cooling it
It may change its measurable properties but a simple state change is brought on by an increase or decrease the energy content of the material and does not alter the material from one material to another.
Yes, the material changes from a solid state to a liquid state.
When the material reaches its melting point, whatever that may be for the given material, it will go through fusion (will change from solid state to liquid state). Once the material reaches its boiling point it will go through evaporation (will change from liquid state to a gaseous state).
A phase change occurs when a material goes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, a liquid state to a solid state, or the above in reverse order.
Physical change, as change in state.
to make it lighter
Yes. A material's toxicity does not usually change after a change of state.
A change of state can affect a material's texture because it alters the arrangement of molecules within the material. For example, when water freezes into ice, its texture changes from liquid to solid, indicating a change in the arrangement of molecules. Similarly, when a metal material is heated and undergoes melting, its texture changes as well.
No, if a new material forms that would be a chemical change. Physical changes always remain with the same material you began with.
either potential or kinetic
Chemicals chAnge their state or form when energy is added ie heaT OR COLD CHANGE TO SOLID LIQUID OR GAS
A material change is a significant alteration or modification that affects the overall value or characteristics of something. It is usually defined by its impact on the decision-making process or the significance of the change in relation to the original state.
