What happens when a substance changes state from a solid or liquid?

When a substance changes state from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes melting where it gains enough energy to break the bonds holding its particles together. When it changes from a liquid to a gas, it undergoes vaporization where it gains enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between its particles.

The process in which a substance changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state is?

Condensation is the process in which a substance changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. This occurs when the gas loses energy (usually in the form of heat) and becomes more tightly packed together, forming liquid droplets.


What happens to a temperature of a substance while a changing of state occurs?
