Phase Change Diagrams: Analyzing States of Matter and Energy Transformations

Mrs. Bodishon explains the phase change diagram, focusing on the X and Y axes representing energy and temperature. She describes the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and their representation on the graph with blue line segments. The green line segments indicate phase changes like melting and vaporization. She discusses kinetic energy changes and how temperature remains constant during phase changes. The video also covers the reverse graph where energy is removed, leading to condensation and freezing. Additional resources are suggested for further learning.
