1 States of Matter
Changes in physical states Page No.04 Date:
1- Melting:- The change of state of matter from solid to liquid is called melting e.g., melting of ice. The
temperature remains constant during melting and heat energy is used to change state from solid to liquid.
2- Freezing:- The change of state of matter from liquid to solid is called freezing e.g., freezing of water.
The temperature remains constant during freezing and heat energy is released.
3- Evaporation:- The change of state of matter from liquid to gas at any temperature below boiling is
called evaporation e.g., evaporation of ethanol. Evaporation takes place from surface of water and rate of
evaporation increases with the increase of temperature.
4- Boiling:- The change of state of matter from liquid to gas at fixed temperature when bubbles start
coming out is called boiling. It takes place from centre of liquid e.g., boiling temperature of ethanol is 78 oC.
5- Condensation:- The change of state of matter from gas to liquid by cooling is called condensation e.g.,
condensation of water.
6- Sublimation:- The direct change of state of matter from solid to gas is called sublimation e.g.,
sublimation of Carbon dioxide and Iodine.
7- Deposition:- The direct change of state of matter from gas to solid is called deposition e.g., deposition
of Carbon dioxide and Iodine.
Explanation of melting or boiling:-
On heating solid, particles gain K.E, move faster and gain enough energy to overcome attractive forces
between them.
Explanation of freezing or condensation:-
On cooling, particles lose K.E, move more slowly and attractive forces develops between them. On
compressing a gas, particles come close together and collide more frequently.
