Notes
Add heat → particles move faster → the solid melts to liquid then boils to gas. During a phase change the temperature stalls because the heat goes into breaking bonds.

About States of Matter

States of Matter is one of 20 topics in the Matter & Atom domain (10⁻¹⁰ m scale) at My Labs — an interactive simulation atlas. This virtual lab runs right in your browser: adjust the parameters, pick a scenario and watch the phenomenon change in real time, with a click-to-inspect cross-section for every structure.
