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..


Can matter change state from solid to gas with out becoming liquid?

Noans2. Yes it can. This is called sublimation. CO2 will change from solid to a gas without passing through a liquid stage. (At normal pressure and temperature at least.) Water ice may also do so at low temperatures - as in your fridge.


What is the normal phase for the element Californium?

lanthanum is a element at any stage, that is for sure. And sense no one else knew this, i decided to answer it. yay! and at room temperature i would quess that it is either a solid or a liquid, because it is a METAL. that is the best answer i can give, have a nice day!


What is the physical state of matter of an atom?

The type of bond has absolutely nothing to do with the physical state of a compound or molecule. A covalently bonded substance can be a gas (diatomic hydrogen or water vapor), a solid ( ice), or a liquid (water).


What happen during sublimation?

A solid becomes a gas without passing through the stage of being a liquid. It requires energy (endothermic), as the molecules need to move around more quickly and freely. you really only have to write a solid - liquid

What has matter gone through when it has changed from a solid to a liquid?

It has gone through the melting stage


How does a solid goes to a liquid then go to a gas?

Definitely on heating a solid can change into liquid state because on heating the kinetic energy of the particles of solid increase and they move more freely.At stage a particular stage particles leave their definite place and solid change into liquid.Again when we heat liquid it changes into on a particular temperature at atmospheric temperature and this temperature is known as its boiling point


What is it called when temperature is decreased on a gas and it becomes a solid without a liquid stage?

This is known as deposition which is the opposite of sublimation.


How much gasoline is really in gas?

Which gas? There are lots of them. Gas is a stage of matter (solid, liquid, gas) not what you seem to think it is. So your answer is - who knows.


There are four phases of matter?

The commonly known 4 stages of matter in order from coldest to hottest are "solid," "liquid," "gas," and "plasma." However, some scientists now believe that there is a 5th stage which is at cooler temperatures than the "solid" stage. This stage is, at present, refered to as "atom stuff" --a funny name for a supercooled metal, considering the work the went through to get it that way, i know, but that's what they call it. Sooner or later, it is still possible that they will change this name to something cooler.


When temperature is decreased on a gas and it becomes a solid without a liquid stage this is called?

Deposition. The reverse process (going from a solid directly to a gas) is called sublimation.


What is the name of the stage of solid to gas?

Sublimation is the name of the stage when a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
