Often you can make a material change state by heating or cooling it
Matter changing state is usually a result of the material changing temperature and/or a change in the surrounded pressure on the material. The change of state is usually associated with a change in its density.
It may change its measurable properties but a simple state change is brought on by an increase or decrease the energy content of the material and does not alter the material from one material to another.
Yes, the material changes from a solid state to a liquid state.
When the material reaches its melting point, whatever that may be for the given material, it will go through fusion (will change from solid state to liquid state). Once the material reaches its boiling point it will go through evaporation (will change from liquid state to a gaseous state).
A phase change occurs when a material goes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, a liquid state to a solid state, or the above in reverse order.

Physical change, as change in state.
Yes. A material's toxicity does not usually change after a change of state.
No. A material is heated, i.e. changes state, then hardens again. No chemical change, but at least a partial state change.
either potential or kinetic
Chemicals chAnge their state or form when energy is added ie heaT OR COLD CHANGE TO SOLID LIQUID OR GAS
Substance in the material Remain the same
