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.

What do you call the change in state of matter from a liquid to a gas?

Condensation


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.


When matter changes from a solid to a liquid what occurred?

You are adding heat/energy. It is melting.

Is energy released when a liquid changes to a solid?

Yes. Carbohydrates.


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.


When water changes from a solid to a liquid energy is?

Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.


What Makes Matter Change state?

According to the Particulate Theory of Matter, when matter is heated up, its particles gain energy, and thus, it changes its state. A solid has particles that are tightly packed together. When it is heated, its particles will gain energy and be more spread out to become a liquid. It works likewise for liquids to become gases.
