It is actually neither. The liquid state going to a solid, like water to ice is a combination of the realsed and absorbed energy. The water absorbeds oxygen to become a solid whilst at the same time it relased carbon dyoxyed to become ice.

How can matter change from one state to another state of matter?

They can;liquid to gas= evapouration(boiling water)liquid to solid=freezing(ice cubes)gas to liquid= condensation(steamy bathroom windows)solid to liquid= melting(ice cubes).


What process occurs when matter changes from a solid to a liquid?

When matter changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes the process of melting. This involves the absorption of energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the particles in a fixed position in the solid state, allowing them to move more freely in the liquid state.


When wax freezes does it release energy?

Yes, when wax freezes, energy is released in the form of heat. This is because when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid state, its molecules slow down and release energy in the form of heat as they rearrange into a more ordered structure.


Is energy released in melting?

released. energy is taken from environment to weaken individual bonds between H2O molecules. When water moves from higher to lower ordered state, the air surroundint the H2O will have heat subtracted.


How is the state of mattr related to the amount of energy in a substance?

The state of matter is related to the amount of energy in a substance through the kinetic energy of its particles. As a substance gains energy, its particles move faster, causing a change in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas) as the intermolecular forces are overcome. This change in energy affects the arrangement and movement of particles, determining the state of matter.

What happens to thermal energy when matter changes from one state to another?

When matter changes state, thermal energy is either absorbed or released. For example, when a solid melts to become a liquid, thermal energy is added to break the bonds holding the solid structure together. On the other hand, when a gas condenses to become a liquid, thermal energy is released as the gas molecules slow down and come closer together.


How are states of matter and changes in energy related?

When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another eg. solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gas.


As energy is added matter changes from a solid to liquid is called?

melting and from a solid to gas ,as in dry ice, it is sublimating


When a solid changes to liquid will it gain or lose energy?

It looses energy to the surroundings. When bindings brakes, energy is released.


Is it the same when matter changes from gas to solid as when something sublimates?

They are not the same thing.When something changes directly from solid to gas, it is said to sublimate.When matter changes from gas to solid it is called deposition, or sometimes called desublimation.


How can energy affect matter?

Energy can affect matter by causing changes in its state or structure. For example, adding thermal energy to matter can increase its temperature and may cause it to change from a solid to a liquid or a gas. Energy can also be used to break chemical bonds in matter, leading to chemical reactions or changes in composition.
