CHANGES OF STATE

change of state (or change of phase) of a substance describes the change of a substance from a solid to a liquid, liquid to a vapor (or gas), vapor to a liquid, liquid to a solid, solid to vapor, or vapor to a solid. In meteorology you are concerned primarily with the change of state of water in the air. Water is present in the atmosphere in any or all of the three states (solid, liquid, and vapor) and changes back and forth from one state to another. The mere presence of water is important, but the change of state of that water in the air is significant because it directly affects the weather. The solid state of water is in the form of ice or ice crystals. The liquid state of water is in the form of raindrops, clouds, and fogs. The vapor state of water is in the form of unseen gases (water vapor) in the air

How is melting different then freezing?

Melting is from 'solid to liquid', freezing is from liquid changing to solid state


What are the differences between freezing melting and evaporation?

Changing the liquid state to solid state is known as freezing, changing from solid state to liquid state is known as melting and changing from liquid or solid state to gaseous state is known as evaporation.


What does changing state mean?

We know that there are four states of matter. Solid, liquid, gaseous and ionic (plasma) As one substance changes from one state into the other it is known as change of state Example: Ice (solid) melts into water (liquid) and gets evaporated ( gaseous) as water vapour.


What is it called when a solid changes into a liquid?

The process of a solid changing into a liquid is called melting. This occurs when the temperature of the solid reaches its melting point, causing the solid to transition into a liquid state.


Process of changing a solid to a liquid by heating is called?

The process of changing a solid to a liquid by heating is called melting. This is when the solid absorbs enough heat energy to overcome its intermolecular forces and transitions into a liquid state without changing its chemical composition.


What is the changing state for condensation?

Gas to liquid. Also, gas to solid.


What is it called when liquid turns to plasma?

Ironisation is the process of changing gas into plasma. Other processes of changing state include: Solid -> liquid = melting Liquid -> gas = condensation Gas -> liquid = evaporation Liquid -> solid = freezing Solid <- -> Gas = sublimation


What is changing state?

A change of phase, from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, or gas to liquid, etc., is also sometimes called a change of state.


When a plasma changes into gas what is called?

Ironisation is the process of changing gas into plasma. Other processes of changing state include: Solid -> liquid = melting Liquid -> gas = condensation Gas -> liquid = evaporation Liquid -> solid = freezing Solid <- -> Gas = sublimation


Which sentence tells about changing matter without changing its state is it freeze water or melt ice?

Neither sentence is correct, state is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. If you melt ice-you are going from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water), if you freeze water - you are going from a liquid (water) to a solid (ice).


When solid is changing to liquid form?

When a solid is changing to a liquid form, it is undergoing the process of melting. This typically occurs when the solid reaches its melting point temperature, causing its molecular structure to break down and transition into a liquid state.


What is the process that takes place when a liquid changes into a solid?

solidifying - its a changing state of matter
