Changes in physical state of matter
Occur by absorption or release of energy, usually in the form of heat
Involves the rearrangement of particles in a given material
Melting: Solid to liquid, heat entering the system
Freezing: Liquid to solid, heat leaving the system
Evaporation: Liquid to gas, heat entering the system
Condensation: Gas to liquid, heat leaving the system
Sublimation: Solid to gas, heat entering the system
Deposition: Gas to solid, heat leaving the system
