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.
Condensation. A gas condenses into a liquid.
When matter sublimes, it transitions directly from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This process occurs when the substance's vapor pressure at that given temperature exceeds the atmospheric pressure, leading to the solid molecules escaping into the gas phase.
The physical state change from gas to liquid is called condensation. This occurs when a gas loses heat energy and transitions into a liquid state.
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 is between solid and gaseous state of matter

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.
Condensation. A gas condenses into a liquid.
The process of solid to liquid is called melting. This occurs when a solid substance is heated to its melting point, at which the solid transitions into a liquid state.
