Inter-conversion of States of matter

Inter-conversion of States of matter

The states of matter are inter-convertible by changing the conditions of temperature and pressure. On heating, a solid usually changes to a liquid, and the liquid on further heating changes to gas or vapour. In the reverse process, a gas on cooling liquifies to a liquid and the liquid on further cooling freezes to the solid.

States of Matter in Chemistry

States of Matter in Chemistry

 Matter  exists in three physical states:
Solid: Particles are held very close to each other in solids in a regular order and there is very little freedom of movement due to strong attractive forces between particles.As a result, Solids have definite volume and definite shape.

Liquid: Particles are close to each other but they can move around due to weaker attractive        forces between particles compared to solid particles. As a result, Liquids have definite volume but do not have definite shape. They acquire the shape of the container in which they are kept.

Gas : Particles are far apart their movement is easy and fast due to negligible attractive forces

 between particles. Gases have neither definite volume nor definite shape. They completely

 occupy the space in the container in which they are placed.
