(N/A) Matter typically exists in three distinct states: $Solid$,$Liquid$,and $Gas$.
$A$ transition from one state to another is referred to as a change of state.
Common examples include the transition from $Solid$ to $Liquid$ (melting) and $Liquid$ to $Gas$ (vaporization),as well as their reverse processes ($Freezing$ and $Condensation$).
These changes occur due to the exchange of heat energy between the substance and its surroundings,which alters the internal energy of the molecules without changing the temperature during the phase transition.
