Well let's say that the gas is water vapour. For it to become a solid, it must first become a liquid. It does this by being cooled (it condenses) which makes it lose energy, slowing down the vibration of the particles. When it solidifies, the particles vibrate even slower, losing their energy. So here's your answer- it does neither, it just loses energy.

What is the phase change when a solid becomes a liquid?

Gases become liquids when they have less space to occupy or when the temperature is cool enough for that substance to be a liquid. Take water as an example. When the temperature is hot enough, it is steam. As the temperature cools, the molecules loose energy and begin sticking together forming liquid water. As the temperature drops farther, the water turns into a solid. The temperature at which a gas becomes solid varies by the gas. Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide that is normally a gas.


What is it called when a solid turns into a liquid?

When we melt a solid, it will become a liquid. This is a physical change (as opposed to a chemical one), and meltingis something we observe when ice changes to liquid water.When a solid turns into a liquid form it is called melting.


Why does it take so much energy to change a liquid to a solid?

Changing a liquid to a solid requires the molecules to slow down and arrange themselves in a more orderly fashion, which requires energy input to overcome the weak forces holding them as a liquid. This process, known as solidification or freezing, involves reducing the kinetic energy of the molecules to bring them closer together and form a rigid structure, hence requiring energy.


What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?

When a solid is melted, the particles gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions in the solid structure. This leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles causing them to move more freely and take on the shape of the container they are in.


When an object cools its particles lose energy and as the space between particles decreases the object does what?

State Changes If you give the particles energy; or take energy away from them; then you can change their state. If you heat up a solid - you give it some energy. This causes the particles to move more and the solid to change into a liquid, or melt. If the liquid is heated then it may evaporate and turn into a gas.

What is the process when ice turns to water?

the physical processes that occur to turn ice into water are : 'phase transition' , which also applies to water turning to steam, or any other similar physical process. The process by which any solid turns to a liquid is called "melting". basically melting if it didn't help reseach it fool;)

Why is so important to teach children to take their turns?

No one always gets to be first in life. Children need to experience the give and take in taking turns. They need to be first, sometimes, and not to be first, sometimes.
