* Melting: Solid to liquid (ice to water)
* Boiling: Liquid to gas (water to steam)
* Sublimation: Solid to gas (dry ice to carbon dioxide gas)
Let's break it down:
* Endothermic: The process absorbs heat from the surroundings, making the surroundings cooler.
* Exothermic: The process releases heat to the surroundings, making the surroundings warmer.
Therefore, melting, boiling, and sublimation are all examples of endothermic changes of state.
