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.

∙ 14y agoWhen a substance changes phase, its chemical properties are not altered. Therefore, changes in phase are physical changes. Thus, melting, freezing, boiling, deposition, condensation, and sublimation are also physical changes.

∙ 15y agoA phase change occurs when a material goes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, a liquid state to a solid state, or the above in reverse order.

What is the phase change from a solid to a liquid?
The phase change from a solid to a liquid is called "melting."
Why is boiling water a physical change?
Physical change because the water molecules stay unchanged during boiling, also the germination phase helps this be proved correct=)
Does not change a substances identity physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change.
Is boiling water an example of chemical change?
No, a chemical change is when a substance and forms one or more new substances, it changes its composition. examples: changes in color production of gas formation of precipitate Boiling water is an example of physical change, it can be any phase change.
Is the ability to dissolve a physical or chemical change?
chemical change
Are phase changes physical or chemical in nature?
A phase change is a physical change. It is not a chemical change.
Is a Chang in a phase a physical change or chemical Chang?
A change in phase is a physical process.
Is a phase change an example of a physical or chemical or nuclear or a covalent change?
Phase change is a physical change.
Is freeing a chemical or physical change?
I'm guessing your question is "Is freezing* a chemical or physical change?" and if it is, it is a physical change any phase change is a physical change
When icicles form is it a physical or chemical change?
It is called a phase change.
When ethanol condenses and from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase is this a physical change or chemical change?
physical change- the composition of the ethanol is not effected
The vaponlization of liquid to gas is it physical change or chemical change?
A change in phase is a physical change.
Ice melting is a physical or chemical?
physical because a chemical change means it can never form back
When boiling take place is the phase change a chemical or physical change?
Boiling is a physical change.
A specific type of physical change is a change Chemical Bond Size Phase?
It would be a phase change.
Is soda freezing a chemical change?
No, it's a phase change, which is physical.
If water is boiling is it a chemical change or a physical change?
It is a physical change. All phase changes are physical, not chemical. The chemical composition of water does not change when it changes from a liquid to a gas, or for that matter, to a solid.
