Which statement best describes the energy changes associated with evaporation and boiling?
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?
A cylinder at left with balls evenly spaced throughout the cylinder with an arrow leading to a cylinder at right with balls stacked near the bottom of the cylinder.

The diagram shows changes of state between solid, liquid, and gas. The atoms of a substance lose energy during a change of state. Before the change, the atoms are close together but are able to slide past one another.

During which changes of state do atoms overcome the attractive forces between them?
What happens during evaporation?
Brian made this table to organize his notes on changes of state.Which change of state has the wrong energy change listed?
