Changing the state of matter is known as phase change, change in temperature creates phase change when the freezing or boiling point is reached.

Does a physical change occurs when matter changes state?

Yes, a physical change occurs when matter changes state. This change is reversible and does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. Examples include melting, freezing, vaporization, and condensation.


When a physical change occurs in a sample of matter which is the matter that does not change?

During a physical change, the chemical composition of the matter remains the same, while its physical properties, such as shape, size, or state, may change. The individual particles that make up the matter do not change in a physical change.


A change of state does not affect an object's?

A change of state does not affect an object's mass because mass remains constant regardless of the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas). The state change only impacts the arrangement and movement of the particles within the object, not the total amount of matter it contains.


What is changed when matter undergoes a phisical change?

When matter undergoes a physical change, its state may change (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc.), its shape or size may change, or its physical properties such as density or volume may be altered. However, the chemical composition of the substance remains the same before and after the physical change.


What causes matter to change from one state of matter to another state of matter?

A change in state of matter is typically caused by varying temperature and pressure conditions. When these conditions are altered, the kinetic energy of particles changes, leading to a transition from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or vice versa. This change occurs as the intermolecular forces between particles are either strengthened or weakened.
