Answer:

no.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets me give some example of it.

  • melting(solid to liquid) and boiling (liquid to gas) and sublimation (gas to solid or solid to gas) both need energy to break the intermolecular forces of attraction between the atoms
  • condensation ( gas to liquid) and freezing (liquid to solid) lose in energy.

btw

i do not copy this answer from any other website

i do this with my own understanding
