Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the number of particles does not change as the substance changes its state. Change of state from one phase to another is achieved by providing or absorbing heat or pressure. For instance, liquid water if heated becomes vapour steam and if cooled becomes solid ice.
