Know the Answer?

Ethen Fuentes · Answer 1

No. The size of the particles in the substance remains the same when the state of matter changes.

Austin Willis · Answer 2

Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas.

Explanation:

When substances change state there is no change in mass so if 100 g of ice is melted 100g of water are formed this will boil to form 100g of steam (this is called "conservation of mass").
