Understanding Changes in State: Freezing, Boiling, and the Three States of Matter

Changes of state involve a shift in physical characteristics, such as volume and mass.

During the melting of ice, the volume decreases.

The next physical characteristic to consider is mass.

🧊 During a change of state, the mass of a substance remains constant.

🌡️ The temperature remains constant during a change of state.

⚗️ Each change of state has a corresponding name.

🔆 The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

🌡️ The changes of state include fusion, vaporization, liquefaction, condensation, and sublimation.

✨ Understanding the different changes of state helps in comprehending the behavior of matter.
