The next word in the sequence "liquid, solid, gas, matter" could be "states," referring to the different states of matter. Alternatively, it might be "plasma," which is often considered the fourth state of matter. The context of the sequence can influence the interpretation.
Some changes of physical state are described by a single word, for example, the change from a liquid state to a gaseous state is called boiling, and the change from a liquid state to a solid state is called freezing. There is, however, no single word which means change of physical state in general.
The change from a liquid to a solid is called solidification.
nno
The four-letter word you are looking for is "melt." It describes the process of a solid turning into a liquid as it is heated, such as ice melting into water.
The only word that fits this question is 'sublimate', which is the action of moving straight from a solid to a gas, without passing the liquid stage in between.
There are three states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid, liquid and gas are 3 phases of matter (but not the only phases).
Substance is a word that can be used for any type of matter. The substance in the jar was neither liquid or solid.
A liquid is a form of matter that has volume, but no shape. It is neither solid or gaseous in form.
Solid, liquid, and Gas are the three states of matter.
Changes of state, or of phase as it is also called, are described by a single word, but there is a different word for different changes of state. Solid to liquid is called melting. Liquid to solid is called freezing. Liquid to gas is called boiling. Gas to liquid is called condensing. Solid to gas is called sublimation.
A fluid is NOT a solid. A fluid is a type of matter that flows. A fluid is liquid and gases.
States of matter: gas, liquid, solid and if you want plasma. Phases of matter are the same but the word phase has and an another meaning for crystalline materials.
A liquid has a volume and the form of the container.
In a word, temperature. A physical change will change the matter's state based on it's temperature. For example, water, H2O. You can increase the temperature to 212oF and it will change state from a liquid to a gas. You can decrease the temperature to 32oF and it will change state from a liquid to a solid. To answer your question, the process of doing so would be increasing or decreasing temperature of matter.
solid
There are three main types of matter; solid, liquid, gas. (And plasma) Why does it matter? He exclaimed. It matters to me. She replied.
