Step 1

A substance is in solid state if the temperature is below its melting point, in liquid state if the temperature is between its melting point and boiling point, and in gas state if the temperature is above its boiling point. Show more…

Key Concepts

Melting Point

The melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state. It provides a critical indicator for determining whether a material is solid or liquid under given temperature conditions.

Boiling Point

The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a gaseous state. This thermal property helps predict if a material will be in a liquid or gas phase under certain conditions.

Phase of Matter

The phase of matter describes the state of a substance, usually as solid, liquid, or gas. This concept integrates the ideas of melting point and boiling point, allowing predictions of physical states based on surrounding temperature relative to these characteristic temperatures.
