Phase change
A change in the way atoms, molecules or particles aggregate in a substance. The different aggregations are known as phases; gas, liquid, solid. For instance, when water exists as a vapour in clouds, changes in temperature and pressure can cause it to change its phase. The result is that the water molecules aggregate into a liquid and the water falls as rain. A further cooling can produce solid ice.
