It melts.

Thus it can be drawn up the wick ... to be vaporized and burned.

Condensation happens when a gas changes into an?

Condensation happens when a gas or a vapor changes into a liquid or a solid. H2O (v) ----->H2O (l or s) V= vapor L=liquid S=solid


What is it called when something changes from solid to liquid?

solid to liquid= meltingliquid- solid= freezingliquid to gas= vaporization (There is two forms- boiling and evaporation. The difference is that evaporation happens on the surface of the liquid, and boiling happens throughout.)gas to liquid= condensationgas to solid= depositionsolid to gas= sublimation


What happens when a liquid changes into a solid?

When a liquid changes into a solid, it undergoes a process called solidification or freezing. The molecules in the liquid slow down and come closer together, forming a stable crystalline structure. This process releases heat energy as the molecules lose kinetic energy, resulting in the formation of a solid with a fixed shape and volume.


When does phase changes occur?

When a solid melts or changes to a liquid. When a liquid boils or changes to a gas. or the reverse when a gas condenses to a liquid or a liquid freezes to a solid. Also it is possible for a solid to go directly to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. This is called sublimation and can occur with sulfur when heated, or ice in the winter when the sun shines on it..


What happens to water when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?

When water changes state from a solid to a liquid, it melts. This process occurs when the temperature of the solid water (ice) increases and reaches its melting point, where the bonds between water molecules weaken and the solid structure breaks down, turning it into liquid water.
