Phase Changes

 

 

All of these may be explained by an appreciation of the energy overcoming the forces holding the particles together or becoming insufficient to keep them apart.

List of Phase Changes Between States of Matter

fusion, melting: solid to liquid phase change

boiling, vaporization: liquid to gas phase change

                     **evaporation: liquid to gas phase change of the particles on the outer surface only

solidification, freezing: liquid to solid phase change

condensation: gas to liquid phase change

sublimation: Solid to gas phase change

deposition: gas to solid

 

 

ionization: gas to plasma

recombination:  plasma to gas
