Best Answer

Endothermic phase changes - the substance is gaining energy (being heated) and the molecules are getting more active.

- solid to liquid: melting

- liquid to gas: vaporization

- solid to gas: sublimation

Exothermic phase changes - the substance is losing energy (cooling) and the molecules are slowing down.

- gas to liquid: condensation

- liquid to solid: freezing

- gas to solid: deposition

Memory helper: exo is like exit, and the heat energy exits the substance during an exothermic phase change.

What are the processes in changing one phase to another phase of matter?

Changes in state are called phase transitions. Each of the phase transitions has a technical name and many have common names. The change from solid to liquid is fusion (or melting). The change from liquid to solid is solidification (or freezing). The change from liquid to gas is vaporization (or boiling). The change from gas to liquid is condensation. The change from solid to gas is sublimation.

Sublimation is defined as a phase change from a solid into a gas without passing through a liquid phase in between. In some other fields of science, e.g. psychology, the word is also used to describe a change of state.
