  2. Readily Available

  3. Energy-Rich

Phase Change - Physical

  • Elements go under reorientation

    • elements that are together are put the other way

New cards

Phase Change - Chemical

  • Elements go under recombination

    • elements that are together break apart to join with another element

5

Phase Change - Nuclear

  • Nuclei themselves are changed

  • turns into a different element completely
