Phase Transitions: Definition: Phase transitions are physical transformations in matter that occur when certain conditions, such as temperature or pressure, are changed. Types of Phase Transitions: Solid to Liquid (Melting): In this transition, a solid substance changes into a liquid state as its temperature increases. Liquid to Gas (Vaporization): This transition occurs when a liquid sub...…
