Question

The following triangle exhibits the interchangeability of the three states of matter. Complete the triangle by labeling the arrows marked A, B, C and D.

Accepted Answer

Interconversion of states of matter means to change a matter from one state to another. This can be brought in the following ways:

The process of changing a matter from its solid state to its liquid state by heating is called melting or fusion. Hence the arrow labelled A is melting.

The process of changing a liquid matter into its vapour or gaseous state by heating is called vaporisation or evaporation. Hence the arrow labelled B is vaporisation.

The process of changing matter from its gaseous state into its liquid state on cooling is called condensation or liquefaction. Hence the arrow labelled C is condensation.

The process of changing matter from its gaseous state into its solid state on cooling is called deposition or desublimation. Hence the arrow labelled D is deposition. Desublimation is the reverse process of sublimation.
