• solidification

• condensation

• boiling

• sublimation

• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas

Both boiling and evaporation are forms of vaporization.  What is the difference between them?

• Boiling matter has intense heat added to it, evaporating matter has very little heat added to it.
• Boiling happens quickly, evaporation happens slowly.
• Evaporation occurs only at a liquid's surface, boiling occurs throughout the liquid
• All of these reasons

Adding more heat energy to particles of matter will

• make them move slower
• make them move faster
• make them stop moving
• destroy them

• Add energy to it
• Take energy away from it
• Both of these
