Properties

How are compound, molecules, elements, and particles able to change from one state of matter to the next?

They change from one form of matter to another form of matter through a fase called transition. For example if ice melts. Then since the ice is melted it turned into a liquid, if that boils and turns to steam it is considered another transition.

The things change to solid to liquid. Like when icecream melts down to liquid.

The process that gets this to occur is called transition. Each form of matter changes into another form of matter. A solid goes to a liquid and then it goes to a gas.

Elements have to be broken down into the molecules. That can probably be done by heating them up. Particles can he heated or froze into a compound. These things are all called transitions.

They change from one state of matter to the next by diffusion and effusion. like when snow or ice melts. it turns into a liquid.

Temperature can change them by freezing it or melting it. Diffusion happens. Effusion happens too.

They change from because of their temperature. The warmer they get the more active the molecules become. This could be shown by ice. The H20 molecules in ice slowly start moving more from the heat. They move faster and faster until they become a liquid and then move around more to become a gas.

Compound molecules, elements, and particles are able to change from one state of matter to the next by finding the melting point or boiling point, vaporization, evaporation, sublimation, condensation, depositon, or by finding the freezing point. Doing any on these will change the state of matter of a compound, a molecule, an element, or a particle.

All four changes are done by diffusion and effsion. It like snow and ice. It starts as a solid and then it turn to a ligquid and then it evaporates. This is how the water cyle is done.

They change by absorbing the enegy needed the eathe breake a way from the solid or to bind together.

COmpounds are able to change by finding the next boiling or melting point. Therefore after this stage they are able to change. Examples are evporations, vaporations, condensation, deposition.

They change from one state to another in transitions. Transitions are caused by different changes such as temperature or pressure. Ice will melt at a certain temperature, and water will boil at zero degrees without pressure. It all just depends.

They can all change by tempurature. This is showed many ways. When it gets hott, the snow melts. The particles began to move and turns it to H2O.

bertsch said...

When they change it's called transistion. Such as water turning into steam. Or water turning to ice.

Temperature helps change them from one state to the next. Solids go to liquids and liquids go to a gas. This process is called transition.

They change from one to another form of matter. It is called transition. Ice melting is an example.

They move from one form to another in a process called transition.This is due to a change in temperature. The warmer it gets the more active it becomes.

Tempature is a part in the properties. Like how does ice melt, it melts from warm weather. The solid turns to liquid. Then when its really hot outside it is evaporated.Then the liquid turns to gas.
