During which changes of state does the motion of the atoms decrease?
During which change of state would the volume of a substance increase the most?
Which is the process by which a solid changes to a liquid?
A cylinder at left has balls stacked near its bottom with an arrow leading to a cylinder at right with balls evenly spaced throughout the cylinder.

What happens if atoms lose energy during a change of state?
As atoms gain energy, they move faster and slide past one another more easily. Atoms at the surface of the substance overcome attractions to nearby atoms and break free of the surface.
