Phase Changes What did one water molecule say to another water molecule about vapor? Don’t worry it’s just a phase he’ll cool down.
Characteristics of Phase Changes • States of matter are also referred to as phases. • Phase Change: the reversible physical change that occurs when a substance changes from one state of matter to another

Average Kinetic Energy = Temperature Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance. Meaning that temperature measures movement of particles. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. That means if you double the Kelvin temperature of a substance, you double the average kinetic energy of its molecules. When the average kinetic energy of the molecules goes up (a rise in temperature), the average speed of the molecules increases. A change in average kinetic energy is not directly proportional to a change in average speed.
Using Temperature to Indicate Phase Change Whenever there is a plateau there is a phase change. This means that there is two phases of the substance at the same time.
