Water exists as liquid water, ice or water vapor (steam). These are examples of phases of water. There is never more than one gas phase, because molecules in the gas phase do not form permanent bonds. Some compounds may exist in two or more solid phases. An example is graphite and diamond (yes, carbon is an element, but the carbon atoms are bonded differently in graphite and diamond. They are more properly regarded as different compounds, even though they consist of just one element.)

What forms when water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming a liquid first?

When water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming a liquid first, it forms a process known as deposition. This occurs when the water vapor undergoes a phase transition from a gas to a solid, bypassing the liquid phase.

What phase changes require the addition of energy?

Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).


Are phase changes physical or chemical in nature?

Phase changes are physical changes in nature. They involve a change in the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) rather than a change in the chemical composition of the substance. Heating or cooling a substance can trigger phase changes.
