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.
Vaporization happens when a liquid substance gains enough thermal energy to turn into a gas. The molecules of a gaseous substance tend to move very fast since they tend to have more thermal energy than the molecules of a liquid.
In the change of state from liquid to gas there is energy required to overcome the bonds between the more closely packed atoms and molecules. This energy is called the
Change of state Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is
In the change of state from liquid to gas there is energy required to overcome the bonds between the more closely packed atoms and molecules. This energy is called the heat of vaporization.

During this process, temperature remains constant as the heat supplied to the object goes for breaking the strong molecular bonds, not for the increase in their kinetic energy.
Sublimation is a direct transition where a solid turns into a gas without first becoming a liquid. Dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, exemplifies this by converting directly
When you heat a solid, energy is transferred to the particles and makes them vibrate more strongly. Eventually, they are vibrating so much that the attractive forces are no longer strong

When you heat a solid, energy is transferred to the particles and makes them vibrate more strongly. Eventually, they are vibrating so much that the attractive forces are no longer strong enough to hold them together as a solid.
Solids, which are highly ordered, have the strongest intermolecular interactions, whereas gases, which are very disordered, have the weakest. Thus any transition from a more ordered to a
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).
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 particles of a liquid tend to lose thermal energy when they freeze and form a solid. They usually become more compact and move less rapidly when they lose thermal energy and freeze. Freezing is the change of matter from the liquid state to the solid state when it loses enough thermal energy.
The table summarises what happens to the particles in a substance when it loses energy, and it freezes or condenses (ie changes state): The particles in a substance stay the same when it changes state - only their closeness, arrangement or motion change. This means that the mass of the substance stays the same.
By cooling the gas sufficiently, it can turn back into a liquid, a process known as condensing. The gas must first be cooled to its boiling point, after which continuing to cool the gas decreases the energy of the particles. This causes the substance to return to the liquid state, with the particles closely spaced and in a random arrangement.
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!
