This document discusses different types of changes of state that matter can undergo. It defines melting as a solid changing into a liquid when heat is applied, vaporization as a liquid or solid changing into a gas, and freezing as the opposite process of a liquid changing into a solid. Condensation is described as a gas changing back into a liquid, and sublimation is defined as a solid changing directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Crystallization is explained as the transformation of a liquid or solution into an ordered solid crystal structure. Examples are provided for each type of change of state.
