There are three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. A solid changes to a liquid at the melting point, and a liquid changes to a solid at the freezing point, which is equal to the melting point. A liquid changes to a gas at the boiling point, such as water boiling at 100 degrees Celsius. Evaporation is when a liquid turns to a gas at its surface, while boiling occurs throughout the liquid. Some substances like camphor sublimate, changing directly from solid to gas. Distillation involves heating a liquid to boil it, cooling the vapor to recondense it into a pure liquid. Fractional distillation separates mixed liquids based on their different boiling points.
