solid and gas differ from each other simply because their atoms are differrent in composition.Atoms of a solid is compacted to each other.While the atoms of a gas are far apart from ech other sothat it can move freely. Dominique Odencia

Does a liquid to a solid release or absorb energy?

The transition of a material from liquid to solid invariably involves removing energy from the material. Another way to look at this is that the liquid releases energy as it transitions to being a solid.


How does sublimation differ from melting?

Sublimation is the process where a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase, while melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid upon the addition of heat. Sublimation occurs at specific temperatures and pressures where the solid phase is not stable, whereas melting occurs at the melting point of a substance.


In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?

Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.


What are the phase changes of matter?

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.


What is fusion melting and how does it differ from other forms of melting?

Fusion melting is the process of turning a solid into a liquid by adding heat. It differs from other forms of melting because fusion melting specifically refers to the transition from a solid to a liquid state, whereas other forms of melting can refer to any phase transition from a solid to a liquid, gas, or plasma.

How do the three states of water differ?

The three forms (solid, liquid and vapour) are interchangeable and can change from one physical state to another. Chemically, they exist as H2O molecules throughout.Solid ice melts on heating to become liquid water. Liquid water boils on heating to become gaseous steam.Conversely, gaseous steam condenses on cooling to become liquid water. Liquid water solidifies on cooling to become solid ice.On heating: ice -> water -> steamOn cooling: steam -> water -> ice
