When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes a process called melting. This occurs when the temperature of the solid is raised to its melting point, causing the particles within the solid to gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely. This results in the solid turning into a liquid.
When a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, it undergoes a process called vaporization. This can occur through evaporation, where the liquid turns into a gas at its surface, or through boiling, where the entire liquid reaches its boiling point and turns into a gas. During vaporization, the particles within the liquid gain even more energy, causing them to break free from each other and move independently as a gas.

From Solid to Liquid
- Melting: The solid gains enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding its particles together. - Temperature: The melting point, which is specific for each substance. - Energy change: Endothermic (heat is absorbed). - Particle arrangement: Particles become less ordered and move more freely.
From Liquid to Gas
- Vaporization: The liquid gains enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding its particles together. - Temperature: The boiling point, which is specific for each substance. - Energy change: Endothermic (heat is absorbed). - Particle arrangement: Particles become more energetic and move much more freely, forming a gas.
