Do you know about the phases of matter and phase changes? If yes, take up this chemistry quiz and check your knowledge for the same. There are the three fundamental phases of matter – solids, gases (vapors), and liquids and each of them can be changed from one phase (or state) to another, such as freezing, melting, evaporation, etc. Are you well aware of every phase? Play the quiz below and evaluate yourself. Best of luck!
