ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation

Matter is anything that has mass and occupied space. Matter exists in three states which are; Solid, Liquid, and Gas

Matters can undergo phase change by transforming from one form to the another.

Condensation; This is the process in which water vapor is converted to liquid. This occur as a result of temperature drop. Therefore, condensation happen when Vapor changes to liquid

Melting: This is the process in which solid is converted to the liquid state.

Sublimation: This is the process in which solid is converted to gas state. An example of sublimation is dry ice to CO2 gas

Freezing; This is the process by which liquid is converted to solid as a result of temperature drop.

Evaporation; This is the process by which liquid is converted to gas state as a result of increase in temperature

Deposition; This is the process in which gas is converted to solid without passing through the liquid phase
