CHANGES

IN
MATTER
A. From Solid to Liquid
 MELTING
 Is the change of state from SOLID
to a LIQUID.

3
B. From Liquid to Gas
 BOILING
 Is the rapid change of state from a
LIQUID to a GAS.
 It occurs at or above the boiling
temperature.

5
 VAPORATION
 Takes place when the particles in a LIQUID
gain enough energy to move independently,
forming a GAS.

6
 EVAPORATION
 Usually occurs on the surface of the liquid.
 Is the process by which water changes from
a LIQUID to a GAS or vapor.

7
CONDENSATION
 Is the change of state from a GAS to a
LIQUID.

8
C. From Liquid to Solid
 FREEZING
 The change of state from a LIQUID to a
SOLID.

10
D. From Solid to Gas
 SUBLIMATION
 During sublimation, particles of a SOLID do not pass
through the liquid state as they form a GAS.
 As a solid materials sublimates into a gas, the freedom
of motion of its particles increases.
