Water is an easy example if it gets too hot it turn into water vapor a gas when that rises into the air it forms clouds and falls back down was water and if it gets too cold it freezes. (its a bit more technical than that but that's basically it)

∙ 11y agoI believe the term phase transition is appropriate here as each state of matter ie solid, liquid and gas, is a different phase of the same element or compound.
So for example at the point when water boils it transitions from its liquid phase to its gaseous phase.

What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
How do you know that particles in a gas have more energy than particles of same substance as a liquid or a solid?
We know that for any given substance, and at a given pressure, the gas phase exists at a higher temperature than the liquid phase, which exists at a higher temperature than the solid phase. And temperature measures heat energy per molecule or atom, hence, gas particles have more energy than particles of the same substance in their liquid or solid phase.
How do waters relative densities as solid and a liquid differ from that of most other substance?
The solid state of water is less dense than its liquid state, which is why ice floats on water. The solid state of nearly all other substances is more dense than the liquid state and sinks in the liquid state.

What what happens when a liquid freezes?
It turns into a solid because of the loss of kinetic energy. The particles of the substance slow way down and barely move, other than vibrating in place.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid it is placed?
The solid cannot float in this liquid.
Solid turns to luquid?
Yes, for example if an ice cube (solid) melts than that water (liquid) evaporates and turns in to water vapor than the solid did turn into a gas from ice cube to water vapor.
When a liquid freezes what happens?
It turns into a solid because of the loss of kinetic energy. The particles of the substance slow way down and barely move, other than vibrating in place.
What happens when liquid freeze?
It turns into a solid because of the loss of kinetic energy. The particles of the substance slow way down and barely move, other than vibrating in place.
Are gas molecules further apart than solid molecules and liquid molecules?
Generally, the molecules in gases are further apart than molecules of the same substance in either liquid or solid state. However, note the existence of a critical temperature for each substance. Above the critical temperature, no liquid or solid phase can exist, but it would be theoretically possible to compress a supercritical substance so that it would have closer molecules than some liquid form of the same substance.
What substance state has more thermal energy than it liquid or solid state?
A gas
When the water densest as a liquid or solid?
Water is an atypical substance in that its liquid phase is denser than its solid phase. This can be seen as ice floats in a glass of water.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
Define lenses of liquid?
A liquid lens is one where, rather than solid glass or plastic, the light is refracted through a liquid substance.
Why if you put a hot liquid on a cold solid the liquid turns into a solid?
It shows to go you that the cold solid object has much more than enough specfic cold to absorbe the heat of the liguid.
