Heat is represented in materials by the vibration of the molecules. In a natural state, molecules want to bind to each other in varying strengths by polar or hydrogen bonds. These two attributes of matter work against each other, and when water gets warmer, the vibration of molecules counteracts the binding force, causing it to turn into liquid, then gas. Conversely, when water gets colder, the vibrations stop being strong enough to prevent the bonding, and water goes from a gas to a liquid to a solid.

What causes water to change to a different state?

Water changes state depending on its temperature and pressure. When water is heated, it can change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) to a gas (steam). When water is cooled, it can go from a gas to a liquid to a solid. These changes in state are due to the energy levels of the water molecules.


Is the evaporation of water a potential sign of a chemical change?

No, evaporation causes a change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) which is a physical change

How can you change liquid water into a solid or a gas?

To change liquid water into a solid, you need to lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius to freeze it. To change liquid water into a gas, you need to raise the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate it.


How can liquid water change to a solid?

you freeze it.


Does solid change to liquid or gas changes to liquid?

Let's consider the case of ice. Ice is a solid. When heated, it gets transformed to water. Water is a liquid. Further heating changes water into gas. Thus, heat can change a solid into both liquid and solid form.


What is added to change a solid to a liquid?

Heat is added to a solid to make a liquid... this is called melting. some additional liquid (water,ethanol,acid…) also change solid into a liquid.
