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.
What are the types of phases change that require energy?
The types of phase changes that require energy are melting (solid to liquid), sublimation (solid to gas), and evaporation (liquid to gas). These phase changes require energy input to break the intermolecular forces holding the particles together in a particular phase.
What happens when a object gains thermal energy?
When an object gains thermal energy, its molecules start to move faster, leading to an increase in temperature. This increase in temperature can cause the object to expand, change phase (from solid to liquid, for example), or even break down if the thermal energy input is too high.
How can you add thermal energy to a substance without increasing is temperature?
You can add thermal energy to a substance without increasing its temperature by changing its phase, such as melting a solid or vaporizing a liquid. During these phase changes, energy is absorbed to break intermolecular bonds rather than increasing the substance's kinetic energy, resulting in no temperature change.

Is vaporizing input or output of energy?
The evaporation and vaporization of water is an endothermic process. As water vaporizes it absorbs heat energy. The changing of phase from liquid water to gas also means an increase in kinetic energy.

Thermal energy depends on what two factors?
I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.I would say that an object's thermal energy depends on four factors: its mass, its temperature, its heat capacity, and any phase changes, for example from solid to liquid.
Does evaporation and melting cause an increase in energy?
Yes, both evaporation and melting require an input of energy, leading to an increase in the energy of the substance. During melting, solid molecules gain energy to overcome intermolecular forces and transition to a liquid state. Similarly, during evaporation, liquid molecules absorb energy to break free from the liquid phase and enter the gas phase. This energy input manifests as a temperature change or phase change rather than an increase in thermal energy of the substance.
Does thermal energy increase during a phase change?
Thermal energy may increase or decrease during a phase change. It depends on which "direction" the change is going. In a phase change between a solid and liquid, as in the case of water, the solid water (ice) will reach 0 °C by absorbing thermal energy. It's temperature will be rising as it absorbs heat. But at the transition temperature, it must still absorb some heat to "make the transition" from ice at 0 °C to water a 0 °C. This thermal energy is the enthalpy of fusion. Thermal energy will have increased during the phase change. Another way make the point is that water at 0 °C will have more thermal energy than an equal mass of ice at 0 °C. If you guessed that the opposite is true, you'd be correct. The changes in thermal energy apply to "regular" phase changes between solids, liquids and gases. (There are other types of phase change that don't involve thermal energy or the change of state from solid, liquid or gas.) A link can be found to the enthalpy of fusion for you to investigate further into this one type of transition. That link is below.
What happens to a substance as its thermal energy increases?
As thermal energy increases, the substance's particles move faster, leading to an increase in temperature. Eventually, the substance may undergo a phase change (e.g., melting or boiling) or undergo chemical reactions if the increase in energy is significant enough.
