Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • Changes of state refer to the physical transitions between solid, liquid, and gas phases of matter.
  • For example, melting occurs when a solid absorbs heat energy, increasing molecular movement, which leads to a transition into a liquid state.

What is latent heat?

Click to reveal answer

Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in temperature.

Key notes
