| Phase Change | Name | Intermolecular Forces Increase or Decrease? |
|---|---|---|
| liquid gas | vaporization or evaporation | increase decrease |
| gas solid | deposition | increase decrease |
| gas liquid | condensation | increase decrease |
| solid gas | sublimation | increase decrease |
Considering this, do all substances have a solid liquid and gas phase?
Almost all substances have a solid, liquid, and gas state. I think mercury is interesting because (as stated in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics) it is the only common metal that is a liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Secondly, what is a solid liquid and gas? Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Similarly, it is asked, what are the phases of matter describe each?
Matter can exist in four phases (or states), solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, plus a few other extreme phases like critical fluids and degenerate gases. Generally, as a solid is heated (or as pressure decreases), it will change to a liquid form, and will eventually become a gas.
What are the characteristics of solid liquid and gas?
A solid has definite volume and shape, a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, and a gas has neither a definite volume nor shape.
