matter can be changed from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas because a solid can melt and turn into liquid and then the liquid can evaporate and turn into a gas
The reason matter changes states is because of its molecules. During a solid state, the particles are tightly packed together than once heat is add the particles start to vibrate even more (the particles always vibrate except at absolute zero which is impossible to get to) then if even more heat is add they vibrate even more and lose its defined shape of matter.
Everything depends on the boiling, melting, freezing temperatures of the element or product you are working with.
An example is water: when it starts as a liquid it needs to be heated in order to transform into a gas, from those gas particles need to combine and cool in order to fall to the earth as rain or precipitation. The liquid then needs to cool more in order to freeze into ice.
It is essentially the same principle for everything else, but you have to consider that some things will be only one or two of those states of matter. Water is the only substance scientists have found (or at least released to the public) that can be all three states of matter.
The phase change from solid to liquid to gas happens as a material gets hotter. The heat is the motion of the small particles, either atoms or molecules, of which the material is made. As these particles vibrate more rapidly, they will at some point be able to overcome the bonds that connect them to neighboring particles. In a solid, the bonds are strong and the particles remain where they are. In a liquid, the bonds keep the particles close to each other but their arrangement can shift freely. In a gas, the particles move freely, and they have no attachment to each other.
The intermolecar spacing increases and is greatest in gases. The molecules gain more kinetic energy and hence move with high energy with random motion in gases as compared to vibrational motionо im solids.

A direct transition from solid to gas is called sublimation.
yes
From gas to liquid is called condensation. Liquid to solid is freezing or solidification. Solid to gas is sublimation. Gas to solid is deposition. Solid to liquid is melting. Liquid to gas is vaporization.
state of matter
a phase change: solid to liquid: melting liquid to solid: freezing liquid to gas: vaporization gas to liquid: condensation solid to gas: sublimation gas to solid: deposition
gas is a state of matter that can be squashed.
A liquid evaporating is a physical change. Anything changing from a solid to a liquid (or liquid to solid), or from a liquid to gas (or gas to liquid) is a physical change).-Alec Vasquez
It can change from a gas to a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a solid to a gas. This change does not affect the composition of the matter.
the matter can change into liquid, solid and gas.
Solid --> Liquid --> Gas
Solid --> Liquid --> Gas
A solid, or even a gas. And back again (improved)liquid is a state of matter, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. therefore, liquid can be changed into a solid or a gas. to do so, just change the temperature of the matter. :-D
From gas to liquid is called condensation. Liquid to solid is freezing or solidification. Solid to gas is sublimation. Gas to solid is deposition. Solid to liquid is melting. Liquid to gas is vaporization.
Going from gas to solid is Deposition, from solid to gas is Sublimation
The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.
state of matter
Condensation (gas to liquid or solid or liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid or solid to gas), sublimation (solid to gas), solidification (liquid to solid), or melting (solid to liquid).
Of course! Gas to liquid to solid.
