Matter does not move from a solid, to a liquid, to a gas. It is more proper to say that it changes its state. At different temperatures, all matter changes its state because of the different levels of energy that are required for it to maintain certain states. At the lowest temperatures, matter is a solid. As the temperature is increased, it can change into a liquid, and ultimately a gas. There are even higher states like plasma that involves even higher temperatures, like those found in the sun.

The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.


How many combinations of the three states of matter are there?

There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The number of combinations possible from these states is 3! (3 factorial), which equals 6. The six possible combinations are solid-liquid-gas, solid-gas-liquid, liquid-solid-gas, liquid-gas-solid, gas-solid-liquid, and gas-liquid-solid.

What are the 4 phases that changes solid liquid gas and plasma?

There are five common state changes between the three common states of matter. They are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), condensation (gas to liquid), evaporation (gas to liquid) and sublimation (solid to gas, gas to solid).


What are the phase changes of matter?

The phase changes of matter are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid). These transitions occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.
