Endothermic phase changes - the substance is gaining energy (being heated) and the molecules are getting more active.

- solid to liquid: melting

- liquid to gas: vaporization

- solid to gas: sublimation

Exothermic phase changes - the substance is losing energy (cooling) and the molecules are slowing down.

- gas to liquid: condensation

- liquid to solid: freezing

- gas to solid: deposition

Memory helper: exo is like exit, and the heat energy exits the substance during an exothermic phase change.

Is energy required for each phase change?

Yes, energy is required for each phase change. During a phase change, such as melting, vaporization, or sublimation, energy is either absorbed or released in order to break or form intermolecular forces between molecules.

Is there any liquid state of sublime substances?

Sublimation is defined as a phase change from a solid into a gas without passing through a liquid phase in between. In some other fields of science, e.g. psychology, the word is also used to describe a change of state.

How do you describe the relationship between phase change and thermal and heat energy?

Phase change is the process where a substance changes from one state to another, such as solid to liquid. During phase change, thermal energy is absorbed or released without a change in temperature, as the energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds. Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference, and it can cause phase changes by providing the energy needed to overcome intermolecular forces.


Is a phase change an example of a physical or chemical or nuclear or a covalent change?

A phase change is an example of a physical change, not a chemical, nuclear, or covalent change. During a phase change, the substance undergoes a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in its chemical composition.
