Solid to liquid is melting
During this phase change the particles of the substance will become less organized and will move around faster.
The particles are able to move more quickly because the substance is absorbed energy.
Liquid to a solid is freezing
During this phase change the particles of a substance will become more organized and will move around slower.
The particles are not able to move quickly because the substance is releasing energy.
During this phase change the particles of a substance will become more organized and will move around slower.
The particles are not able to move quickly because the substance is releasing energy.
Liquid to gas is evaporation
During this phase change the particles of the substance will become less organized and will move faster.
The particles are able to move more quickly because the substance must absorb energy in order to change from a liquid to a gas.
During this phase change the particles of the substance will become less organized and will move faster.
The particles are able to move more quickly because the substance must absorb energy in order to change from a liquid to a gas.
Gas to liquid is condensation
During this phase change the molecules slow down, move closer together.
The particles are not able to move because the substance is releasing energy.
During this phase change the molecules slow down, move closer together.
The particles are not able to move because the substance is releasing energy.
Solid to Gas is sublimation
During this phase change the particles of the a substance will become less organized.
The particles speed up and move farther apart and absorb heat energy.
During this phase change the particles of the a substance will become less organized.
The particles speed up and move farther apart and absorb heat energy.
Gas to solid is deposition
During this phase change the particles of the substance will become more organized and will move around faster.
The particles slow down, move closer together and release heat energy.
During this phase change the particles of the substance will become more organized and will move around faster.
The particles slow down, move closer together and release heat energy.
