The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. You can go from gas to liquid (condensation), liquid to solid (solidification/freezing), or you could go solid to liquid (liquifecation/melting) or liquid to gas (evaporation)

Solid to Liquid = Melting
Liquid to Solid = Freezing
Liquid to Gas = Evaporation / Boiling
Gas to Liquid = Condensation
Solid to Gas = Sublimation (Dry ice; from solid to gas)
By the way, forms of matter are: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.

Yes, the four MAIN states of matter are as stated above. Examples of plasma, which consists of free-existing ions, are auroras, lightning and solar wind.
However, there are also a number of other states such as
supercritical fluids - may exist deep inside the Earth.
degenerate gases and more technical states like Bohr fluxes and such, which cannot exist outside laboratories.
And yes, the changes in states of matter are as above, with the addition of gases becoming plasma by being hyperexited. A better-known term would be ionised.
So a gas is ionised to become plasma.

State of matter refers to whether the matter is a solid, liquid or gas.
To change from one state to another, it has to freeze, boil, melt or condense.

To add to what dark_phoenix said previously, there is also sublimation. Sublimation is when a solid goes directly to a gas. A good example of sublimation is dry ice. The frozen carbon dioxide gas goes to the gaseous state and makes the carbon dioxide fog.

definite. typically the quantity will shrink at the same time as the liquid undergoes a state replace to sturdy (water is a uncommon exception which easily expands because it freezes) the quantity will boost if the liquid ameliorations to a gas.
