Sublimation - change of phase from solid to vapor
Vaporization - change of phase from liquid to vapor
Condensation - change of phase from vapor to liquid
Fusion or melting - change of phase from solid to liquid

Triple point


Triple point - the temperature and pressure at which all three phases can exist in equilibrium .

Critical Point


Critical Point:- The temperature and pressure above which there is no distinction between the liquid and vapor phases.
