A phase change is when matter changes into another form but keeps its properties.

For example, ice melting into water is an example of the phase change melting.

The main types of phase changes are melting, vaporization, freezing and condensation.

- Melting is when a solid turns into a liquid.

- Freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid.

- Vaporization is when a liquid turns into a gas. Boiling is a form of vaporization when the change takes place throughout the liquid. Evaporation is a form of vaporization in which the phase change takes place only at the top of the liquid.

- Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid.

- There is also sublimation, which is when a solid turns directly into a gas.

- Deposition is when a gas turns directly into a solid.

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.


Are phase changes physical or chemical in nature?

Phase changes are physical changes in nature. They involve a change in the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) rather than a change in the chemical composition of the substance. Heating or cooling a substance can trigger phase changes.
