Matter transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states through processes known as phase changes, which occur due to variations in temperature and pressure. For example, melting occurs when a solid absorbs heat and transitions into a liquid, while freezing is the reverse process. Evaporation happens when a liquid gains energy and transforms into a gas, whereas condensation is the process of gas cooling and becoming a liquid. Sublimation and deposition are additional phase changes where solids directly convert to gases and vice versa, respectively.
When matter transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states, molecules are either gaining or losing energy to move farther apart or closer together. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, the molecules are more spread out and flow past each other. In a gas, the molecules are far apart and move freely in all directions.
This is called a change in phase or a phase transition. It occurs when a substance transitions from one of the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) to another due to changes in temperature or pressure.
When benzene undergoes vaporization, it transitions from a liquid state to a gaseous state. This process occurs as the molecules in the liquid gain enough energy, typically from heat, to overcome intermolecular forces and escape into the air as vapor. As a result, the temperature of the liquid may decrease, while the vapor phase becomes more prevalent. This change exemplifies the physical transition between states of matter, specifically from liquid to gas.
Condensation. A gas condenses into a liquid.
The type of matter that changes its form is called a phase change. This occurs when a substance transitions between different states of matter, such as solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or gas to solid, due to changes in temperature or pressure.

Liquid
When matter transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states, molecules are either gaining or losing energy to move farther apart or closer together. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, the molecules are more spread out and flow past each other. In a gas, the molecules are far apart and move freely in all directions.
Sublimation occurs when a solid transitions directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase, typically at the surface of the solid. Boiling, on the other hand, occurs when a liquid transitions to a gas throughout the bulk of the liquid, not just at the surface.
The freezing state of matter occurs when a substance transitions from a liquid to a solid state. During freezing, molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a more ordered structure, forming a solid with a fixed shape and volume. This process typically involves the release of heat energy. The freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which it transitions from a liquid to a solid state.
This is called a change in phase or a phase transition. It occurs when a substance transitions from one of the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) to another due to changes in temperature or pressure.
The process is called a phase change or a change of state. This occurs when matter transitions from one physical state, such as solid, liquid, or gas, to another state due to changes in temperature or pressure.
