Matter can change
from one state to
another without a
change in chemical
composition. This
physical change is
called Phase Change.
MELTING
MELTING
❑ Melting happens
when solid turns
to liquid
MELTING
❑ When solid is
heated, it absorbs
energy enough to
overcome the force
that holds the
particles together.
MELTING
❑ The attraction
between particles
becomes less allowing
them to move freely.
❑ When this happens, the
melting point of the
solid is reached and the
solid melts
MELTING
❑ Melting point is
the temperature
at which solid
turns into a liquid.
EVAPORATION
EVAPORATION
❑ Evaporation is
the change from
liquid to gas.
❑ Boiling point is the
temperature at which
vapor pressure
becomes high that
causes bubbles to
form inside the body
of the liquid and
evaporation happens
❑ As liquid absorbs energy when heated, the closer
particles of liquid become separated. There will be
less attraction between particles which allows them
to move freely.
❑ The reverse process can also happen. A
gas can be cooled to become liquid.
CONDENSATION
CONDENSATION
❑ Condensation
happens when a
gas turns into a
liquid.
CONDENSATION
❑ When a gas loses
heat, the particles
become closer and
roll over as it turns
into liquid.
❑ Further cooling of the liquid causes
freezing or solidification.
FREEZING
FREEZING
❑ This process allows
the particles to get
closer and have rigid
position.
❑ The particles can no
longer move freely
instead, they will just
vibrate.
FREEZING
❑ The temperature
wherein a liquid
solidifies is called
freezing point.
