8. The state of change of matter taking place by applying external energy like heat. All such
changes are reversible.
9. Liquide to Solid – process- Freezing – Heat take off – e.g Water to Ice
10. Solid to Liquid – Process – Melting – Heat add – e.g Ice to Water
11. Liquid to Gas – Process – Vaporisation – Heat add e.g water to water vapour
12. Gas to Liquid – Process condensation – Heat Take off – e.g water vapour in to water
13. Solid to Gas – process Sublimation –heat add – e.g Camphor
