Phase change is the change of state of substance undergoing from one form to another. The
chemical composition of the substance is retained even when it undergoes phase change.

Matter undergoes phase change due to the change in temperature. The higher the (26) ______ and
the kinetic energy, the faster the tiny particles move resulting to the farther distance of the particles from
each other. The lower the temperature and the (27) ______, the particles move slowly leading to a closer
distance of the particles.
