What goes from a solid to a liquid to a gas and back to a solid?

The general name for the changes between a solid, a liquid and a gas is a phase transition or phase change. The molecular theory of matter says that molecules of matter in a solid phase are closely knit together. If you heat a solid, you inject energy into the system so the molecules become further apart and start moving near each other, constituting of the liquid phase. Further heating the matter, molecules break loose of each other and can move freely - which is the gaseous phase.

∙ 15y agosolid--> well you could have a piece of ice and if you leave it out for a while it will start to melt and turn into a liquid then you could heat up the liquid like in a pan or something and then it will start to evaporate into a gas

∙ 10y agoAny material can go from a solid to a liquid to a gas and back, depending on the surrounding temperatures and pressures.
The most important material that does that in the existing environment of the Earth's surface is water

Does ice go from solid to liquid to gas?
Yes. Ice can melt from a solid to a liquid and then the water (liquid) evaporates into a gas and goes up into the air.
What happens when substances goes through a phase change?
Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
What are the general classes of colloids?
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
What is depasition?
It is when a Gas goes directly to a Solid skipping the Liquid phase.
The process of converting a liquid to a gas is called what?
evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation
What does matter do when it goes from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas?
solid to liquid: meltingliquid to gas: vaporization
What are the six physical changes that matter goes through?
Melting (solid -> liquid) Evaporating (liquid -> gas) Subliming (solid -> gas) or (gas -> solid) both are called sublimation Condensing (gas-> liquid) freezing (liquid -> solid)
How a liquid changes to a solid to a liquid to a gas to a liquid?
Liquid freezes into a solid, melts in to a liquid, then evaporate into gas and then freezes back to a liquid.
Does ice go from solid to liquid to gas?
Yes. Ice can melt from a solid to a liquid and then the water (liquid) evaporates into a gas and goes up into the air.
Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?
Solid
What happens when substances goes through a phase change?
Melting: the substance changes back from the solid to the liquid. Condensation: the substance changes from a gas to a liquid. Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.
What happens to a substance as it under goes a phase change?
A change from gas to liquid, from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, etc.
What are the general classes of colloids?
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
What can liquid change into?
A solid, or even a gas. And back again (improved)liquid is a state of matter, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. therefore, liquid can be changed into a solid or a gas. to do so, just change the temperature of the matter. :-D
What is depasition?
It is when a Gas goes directly to a Solid skipping the Liquid phase.
What is a flower a solid liquid or gas?
solid
Does gas come before solid or after solid?
Both! The physical state of a substance can go straight from gas to solid, or can heat from solid to liquid and then to gas. The process a solid undertakes when it goes straight to its gas state from a solid state without first turning liquid is called sublimation.
