EQ: How do the 6 changes of state differ from each other?
Freezing From liquid to solid Examples: Water to ice Melted wax hardening Lava cooling Can happen at any temperature; depends on substance’s freezing point
Melting From solid to liquid Examples: Opposite of freezing Ice to water Butter in a frying pan Opposite of freezing
Condensation From gas to liquid Examples: Dew on grass Water drops on a cold glass Occurs at the substance’s “dew point”
Vaporization From liquid to gas Examples: Boiling water Water evaporating from a puddle Vaporization at boiling point (boiling water) Evaporation below boiling point (water in a puddle)
Sublimation From solid to gas Examples: No liquid phase in between Dry ice Snow disappearing from the ground on a cold day No liquid phase in between
Deposition From gas to solid Examples: No liquid phase in between Snow formation in clouds Frost forming on a car windshield No liquid phase in between
