- Boiling: Liquid to gas throughout the liquid. Particles gain
energy, increasing their kinetic energy and breaking free from the
liquid's surface.
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas only at the surface. Particles with
sufficient energy escape the liquid's surface, leaving the rest of
the liquid cooler.
- Freezing: Liquid to solid. Particles lose energy, reducing their
kinetic energy, and intermolecular forces bring them closer
together.
- Condensation: Gas to liquid. Particles lose energy, reducing their
kinetic energy, and allowing intermolecular forces to bring them
closer together.

- Pressure: Increasing pressure compresses gas particles,
reducing their volume. Decreasing pressure allows gas particles to
expand and occupy a larger volume.
