Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state

As pressure is applied the atoms of the liquid start coming closer to each other.When the intermolecular distance become equal to that for the solid, it becomes solid.

What is the process to liquid to solid?

In physics, the solid to liquid process is known as melting. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. There is a change in phase or a phase transition in a substance when there is a change in either its temperature or pressure. The melting process is a phase transition.

Why does change of state happen?

Change of state happens with the change in temperature and pressure. We can refer below given information for easy understanding: Solid-heating-forms liquid liquid-heating- forms gas gas- compressing(increasing pressure)- can change into liquid as well as solid if applied access pressure It should also be noted that some gases while compressing change into solid state without changing into liquid and viceversa. Eg. Carbondioxide, Ammonium chloride etc. This process is called sublimation
