Phase Change

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which a gas turns into a liquid when it cools down.

Front

What is the condensation point?

Back

The condensation point is the temperature at which a gas condenses into a liquid.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, usually occurring at the surface of the liquid.

Front

What is freezing?

Back

Freezing is the process of a liquid turning into a solid when its temperature decreases.

Front

What is deposition?

Back

Deposition is the process by which a gas turns directly into a solid without passing through the liquid phase.

Front

What is melting?

Back

Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid when it is heated.

Front

What is sublimation?

Back

Sublimation is the process where a solid turns directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.

Front

What is the boiling point?

Back

The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas throughout the liquid.

Front

What happens during a phase change?

Back

During a phase change, a substance transitions from one state of matter to another, such as solid, liquid, or gas.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and phase changes?

Back

Temperature changes can cause substances to undergo phase changes, such as melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation.
