How does a substance change state
It needs heat energy
What energy does a substance use when changing state
Latent heat (there is no change to temperature, but the state of the material changes.
Melting point
Is when both the solid and liquid state exist together (changing from a solid to a liquid)
Boiling point
Of a liquid is when evaporation begins to happen throughout the liquid (changing from a liquid to a gas)
