A phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another. Types of phase transitions are called melting, boiling, etc. They are just terms to describe the specific transition.

What is the temperature at which a crystalline solid becomes a liquid?
boiling point
When a liquid gains energy and changes in to a gas it is called what?
The transformation of a liquid in a gas under the boiling point is called evaporation.
Why does diamond and methane have a different boiling and melting point?
Methane consists of separate CH4 molecules that can move freely and are only weakly attracted to one another. Diamond consists of a covalent network in which each carbon atom is strongly bonded to its neighbors.
What is the boiling point of any substance?
different substances have different boiling points, a main reference to boiling points is the boiling point of water (H2O) which is 100 degrees Celsius
How do you use boiling point in a sentence?
The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance boils. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. You have to have an accurate thermometer to measure boiling point.
Could you use transformation in a sentence?
From boiling water, we can observe a transformation of a substance from a liquid to a gas.
Which element in its crystalline state can resist boiling HF of HCl?
boron
What is the term for the transformation of a liquid to a gas?
Evaporation - or boiling.
What is the temperature at which a crystalline solid becomes a liquid?
boiling point
What can identify salt?
The chemical composition, the crystalline structure, the taste, the melting and boiling point etc.
That is the evaporation?
Transformation of a liquid in a gas at a temperature under the boiling point is called evaporation.
Define amorphous solid?
Generally they are two types of solids 1. Crystalline solids 2. Amorphous solids. Amorphous solids are those solids which having different properties in different directions. They didnt have sharp melting and boiling points.
Why diamond is a non metal but it has high melting and boiling point?
Diamond is pure carbon with a specific crystalline structure.
When a liquid gains energy and changes in to a gas it is called what?
The transformation of a liquid in a gas under the boiling point is called evaporation.
What are the similarities between an amorphous and crystalline solid?
They are two types of solid and i guess both are having different properties ...See,! their properties are different crystalline solids are having sharp melting and boiling point......and amorphous are having low melting and boiling point2. they are having a proper geometrical structure and as far as amorphous solids are concerned , they aren't having proper geometrical structures....and there are lot more ...... and i guess they both are not having any similarity........
How is boiling different from boiling point?
Boiling is the phase where the boiling occurs. The point at which the boiling occurs is the boiling point.
Does air and water affect evaporation?
Evaporation is the transformation of a liquid in a gas at a temperature under the boiling point.
