MYP Physics Phase Change Key Definitions

Definition

Evaporation

Evaporation is a phase change in which a liquid turns into a gas at temperatures below its boiling point.

Definition

Phase diagram

A phase diagram shows which state of matter exists under different temperature and pressure conditions.

Definition

Sublimation

A change of state in which a substance transitions directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state.
