What is a phase change?

A phase change is the reversible physical change that takes place when a substance changes from one state of matter to another.

The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas into a liquid is called _____________

Condensation

What is deposition?

Deposition is the phase change in which a substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without changing to a liquid first.

the process that changes a substance from a liquid to a gas at temperatures below the substance's boiling point.

Evaporation

Dry ice can change directly from a solid to a gas without forming a liquid first. This process is an example of ______________________

Sublimation

What happens to the temperature of a substance during a phase change?

The temperature of a substance remains constant during a phase change.

the pressure caused by the collisions of particles in a vapor with the walls of a container.

Vapor Pressure

When liquid water freezes, the average kinetic energy of its molecules_____________ , and the arrangement of the molecules becomes more orderly.

decreases
