Changes of state list
Melting Freezing Evaporation Condensation Sublimation Deposition
Change of state-Melting
Melting is a solid to a liquid. Enough energy is gained to break the bonds holding them together in a solid.
Change of state-Freezing
Liquid to solid. Particles slow down and loose energy allowing the bonds between the particles to form holding them together.
Change of state-Evaporation
Liquid to gas. Energy is gained and particles are moving fast enough to break the bonds holding them together in a liquid. They are free to move anywhere.
Change of state-Condensation
Gas to liquid. Energy is lost by gas particles and they slow down and get close enough for weak bonds to hold them together in a liquid.
