Does a liquid gain energy or lose energy as it changes from liquid to gas?
They gain energy. For a solid to become a liquid, energy has to be added so that the molecules can break their bond and move freely past each other. Liquids have a higher kinetic energy than a solid.
What are the changes of evaporation condensation freezing and melting?
When a liquid evaporates it gains energy from heat and the particales begin moving faster and breaking free, turning into a gas. When a gas condenses it loses its energy because of lack of heat, the particales slow down and become a liquid again. When a liquid frreezes it loses even more heat from colder tempratures and the particales lose more energy and slow down so they may only vibrate, the liquid becomes a solid with particales tightly packed together. Melting happens when solid particales gains enough energy from heat to move slightly faster and over lap each other, turning them into a liquid. Different objects have different melting, boiling, condensing and freezing points. Hope this helped! :)
What happens when a solid gains energy?
When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.
When an atom gains or looses electrons what to the charge of atom?
When an atoms gains an electron the atom changes into a negative ion and when an atom loses an electron the atom changes into a positive ion.
What particle gains energy gets excited?
Electrons
When does matter change state?
when water gains or loses heat, it changes its state. When liquid water gains heat, it changes its state from liquid to gas. It becomes water vapor. When solid gains heat, it melts an changes its state from solid to liquid. When gas loses heat, it condenses into liquid. Gas, to liquid. When liquid loses heat, it becomes solid
Is energy released when a solid changes to a liquid?
The latent heat of fusion
Does a liquid gain energy or lose energy as it changes from liquid to gas?

Does a substance loose mass when changing state?
It depends. Exapmle: If a solid changes into a liquid, it looses mass. If a liquid changes into a solid, it gains mass. I think...
When a substance changes from one state to another it gains or loses?
energy
What happes to particles when a substance gains energy and changes state?
particals
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
Is photosynthesis an energy releasing process?
Yes, and no. It is when the plant takes in sunlight, and changes it in to energy, so it gains energy, and releases oxygen.
What is the name given to heat energy at melting point?
The heat energy required to change a substance between solid & liquid at constant temperature is called the "latent heat of fusion". If the change is from solid to liquid the substance gains this energy. If the change is from liquid to solid the substance gives up this energy. The exact amount of latent heat of fusion is different for different substances.
What happens to matter when gains enough heat to change from a solid to a liquid?
It is called condensation. This is because the gas is like a bean bag chair: it's all loose and spread out. When it becomes a liquid, it has to condense from beans to a block of Styrofoam to stay together more, hence the term "condensation".
Does water evaporate - or condense - to become water vapour?
Water Vapour is water in a gaseous state, so it has to evaporate to become a gas.Related Information:When matter gains enough energy, it changes state, from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas.In rare cases it can change from a solid to a gas also.
How is a physical change from solid state to the liquid state caused?
Energy - usually heat energy causes a solid to turn to liquid.
