Exploring Changes in States of Matter

The video tutorial explains the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, and how substances transition between these states through changes in temperature and pressure. It covers the concepts of kinetic energy, vaporization, sublimation, and deposition, and provides practical examples of phase changes, such as the use of liquid nitrogen and the properties of mercury and bromine at different temperatures.

What triggers a change in the state of matter?

• Chemical reactions

• Electrical currents

• Magnetic fields

• Temperature or pressure adjustments
