when a liquid turns into a solid it contracts
The phase changes of matter are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid). These transitions occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.
When you cool a liquid and it changes phase, it becomes a solid.
Four examples of changes in state are: solid to gas (sublimation), gas to solid (deposition), solid to liquid (fusion), and gas to liquid (condensation).Four examples of change on state are liquid to solid, solid to liquid, liquid to a gas, and gas to a liquid.
The six different phase changes are: Melting (solid to liquid) Freezing (liquid to solid) Vaporization (liquid to gas) Condensation (gas to liquid) Sublimation (solid to gas) Deposition (gas to solid)
The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing
Any liquid or solid shrinks when frozen; the molecules contract. Molecules expand when thawed.
If the food has water in it then it will expand.
The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
change of a liquid to a solid
When water freezes it changes from a liquid to a solid. When water boils or evaporates it changes from a liquid to a gas.
When a substance changes from liquid to solid is called freezing.
The process in which a solid changes to a liquid is called melting.
The phase changes of matter are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and deposition (gas to solid). These transitions occur due to changes in temperature and pressure.
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
Temperature affects the density of a liquid more than a solid because molecules in a liquid are less tightly packed and more free to move around, causing them to expand or contract with changes in temperature. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed together in a fixed structure, so temperature changes have less impact on the overall density.
There are several names for when a solid changes to a liquid. Usually, melting of a solid occurs when heat is used near the solid and it changes it to a liquid.
