Question

What do you mean by interconversion of states of matter?

Answer 1

Interconversion of matter refers to the change of one state to another. It is a process by which matter changes from one state to another and back to its original state, without any change in its chemical composition. Solid can be converted into liquids by heating. Similarly, liquids can be converted into gases by heating and gases can be converted into liquid and liquids can be converted into solids by cooling. The interconversion of states is a physical change because these changes occur without a change in composition and no change in the chemical nature of the substance
