There is a whole [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb2bIAiG5lA&t=63s)
describing the grammar but its in Japanese .

How would you explain the difference between:

> 彼がリーダー **と** なった

And

> 彼がリーダー **に** なった

grammar particles
となる vs になる - Grammar
The expression になる is mainly used to express a "natural" change, while the となる
expression is used to express a change to a final stage.

First example: 彼がリーダーになった: He became a leader (naturally). 彼がリーダーとなった: He
became a leader (he finally made it, maybe struggling, maybe he had to face a
lot of challenges, etc.).

Second example: 夜になったら、雨が雪になった: When the night came, rain turned into snow (If
I am in a snowy area, this is naturally expected). 夜になったら、雨が雪となった: When the
night came, rain turned into snow (If I am NOT in a snowy area, this might not
expected).

Hope it helps.
