Step-by-step explanation

A phase change is when matter changes to from one state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to another.

All phase changes require a gain or a loss of heat energy. The energy change allows the particles to have a new arrangement, thereby creating a new phase. These phase changes can only happen at certain fixed temperatures for each type of substance.
