Physical Matter

• Solvation: Separation of mixtures via dissolving solutes in solvents
• Filtration: Separation of mixtures through a filter system where the liquid passes through and the solid is retained
• Evaporation: Separation of mixtures by removing the liquid, usually through heat to leave a solid residue
• Distillation: Separation of mixtures of liquid by using their different boiling points
• Melting: Solid → Liquid
• Freezing: Liquid → Solid
• Vaporization: Liquid → Vapor
• Evaporation: Vaporization on the surface of a substance
• Boiling: Vaporization within the substance
• Condensation: Gas / Vapor → Liquid
• Sublimation: Solid → Gas
• Deposition: Gas → Solid
