They can;

  1. liquid to gas= evapouration(boiling water)
  2. liquid to solid=freezing(ice cubes)
  3. gas to liquid= condensation(steamy bathroom windows)
  4. solid to liquid= melting(ice cubes).

In general, matter changes state through either a change of temperature, or a change of pressure.

From lowest to highest energy state, we have solid, liquid, gas, plasma. Adding energy into the system (by applying heat and/or pressure) will move matter from solid to liquid or gas, liquid to gas, and gas to plasma; removing energy will generally have the opposite effect.

matter changes state when enough energy is applied to increase the average kinetic energy (temperature) to the point where the matter changes state i.e. solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and gas to plasma. where each time the energy of the matter increases.

The main changes in states of matter are as follows:

  • Solid > Liquid = Melting
  • Liquid > Gas = Boiling / Evaporation
  • Gas > Liquid = Condensation
  • Liquid > Solid = Freezing
  • Solid > Gas = Subliming

There are a lot of other state changes as there are more than three states of matter.

The atoms either move faster causing solid to become liquids and liquids into gasses, or slow down causing gasses to become liquids and liquids into solids.

Simply by heating or cooling the substance past or beyond the boiling or melting/freezing point, depending on direction.

liquids, solids, and gasses. a liquid is changed into a solid if frozen and a liquid changes into a gas when it heats up. solids turn into luiquids when melted.
