The reverse processes, condensation (changing a gas to a liquid) and freezing (changing a liquid to a solid), are both exothermic, meaning heat is given off or released when intermolecular
When a substance changes state from solid to liquid, the temperature of the substance remains the same and the heat energy from the external source is converted to potential energy within
This page looks at what happens to the particles in solids, liquids and gases during changes of state. The purpose of this page is to encourage you to think about simple everyday things in
Yes, that''s exactly how it works. There are some exceptions (for example, CO 2) for which the gas turns directly to a solid when it''s cooled down.
Thus any transition from a more ordered to a less ordered state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or solid to gas) requires an input of energy; it is endothermic.
Phase changes involve the transformation of a substance from one state of matter to another—solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and vice versa. These transformations can either absorb or release energy, making them either
Thus any transition from a more ordered to a less ordered state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or solid to gas) requires an input of energy; it is endothermic. Conversely, any transition from a

The transition from a solid to a gaseous state, a process known as sublimation, fundamentally relates to thermodynamics, a branch of physics concerned with heat and energy.
The reverse processes, condensation (changing a gas to a liquid) and freezing (changing a liquid to a solid), are both exothermic, meaning heat is given off or released when intermolecular interactions are reformed.
The phase transition is solid to gas, so energy will be absorbed. The process involves the ice melting to water, the water heating from 0 °C to 100 °C, then the water boiling to steam.

(In some materials the solid goes directly to the gas without going through a liquid state.) So the energy per particle is biggest for the gas and smallest for the solid. He) you can actually make the liquid turn solid by heating it up. In that weird case the solid has more energy than the liquid.
In the change of state from liquid to solid energy is given off. The energy given off by this transition is the same amount as the energy required to freeze the matter. A very common phase change is between liquid and gases. This change of state is referred to as vaporization/boiling (liquid to gas) or condensation (gas to liquid).
Well, it certainly goes straight from solid to gas at temperatures below its melting point. It certainly goes from gas to solid when the gas is cooled. But it can also go via the normal route of solid melting to liquid and then ending up as gas. So it does sublime, but it doesn't always sublime.
In the change of state from gas to liquid energy is given off by the transition. This energy is equal in magnitude to the energy required to transition from liquid to gas. Sublimation occurs when a substance goes from a solid state directly to a gaseous state, without passing through the liquid state.
The attractions between particles in a gas aren't strong enough for the particles to stick together as a liquid if they collide. But there are attractive forces. If you lower the temperature enough and remove enough energy from the particles, every gas will sooner or later condense to a liquid. (Or even a solid!
Molecules in a liquid have more energy than molecules in a solid. And if you heat it up even more, the molecules will speed up so much that they won’t be stuck together at all. The molecules in the gas have the most energy. It's pretty close to what Tamara wrote.
