5.4. Explaining changes
of state

•Gaining energy
The table summarises what happens to the particles in a substance when
it gains energy, and it melts or boils (i.e. changes state):

  Melting Evaporating or boiling


Description Solid to liquid Liquid to gas
Become much further
Closeness of particles Stay close together
apart
Arrangement of particles Regular to random Stay random
Start to move around Become able to move
Motion of particles
each other quickly in all directions

of state

•Losing energy
The table summarises what happens to the particles in a substance when
it loses energy, and it freezes or condenses (ie changes state):
Condensing Freezing
Description Gas to liquid Liquid to solid
