Most liquids become solids through a process called freezing. During freezing, the molecules in the liquid slow down and come closer together, forming a solid structure. This process typically occurs when the temperature of the liquid is lowered below its freezing point.
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
No, cooling solids typically causes them to contract and become denser, rather than changing into gases. Cooling a substance lowers the kinetic energy of its molecules, which reduces the distance between them and causes the solid to solidify further. However, if the solid sublimes (changes directly from solid to gas), then cooling could cause it to transition into a gas.
temperature. The higher the temperature of the liquid, the more of the solid you can dissolve in it.
Solids do not mix well because there shape can not change. But a liquid and a gas can change their form. For example- you can't just change the shape of ice, but you can change the shape of water. Hope that helps
In most circumstances two liquids would probably remain liquid when mixed like say watering down your milk and so on. However polymers and plastics are made when the chemical reaction of two liquids are mixed.
Many solids will change into liquids if you heat them, for instance most metals will melt when subjected to heat, ice will become water when heated, some plastics will melt, glass will melt, and most rocks will also melt.

solid, liquid then gas
liquid - depending on what the solid was to start with
When most liquids change to their solid state, they become denser. However, water freezes and the resulting solid, ice, is less dense than it's liquid state (aka ice floats over liquid water)
The physical properties are of course different.

solid compounds. When pure still solid and mainly metallic
Three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gaseous. Of course there is a fourth state called ionic state of matter. In solid atoms or molecules are well packed and they form mostly crystal structure. In liquid, atoms or molecules or ions will be in random motion. In gas, the motion will be severe and the attraction between atoms or molecules or ions will be almost negligibly small. So when liquid is changed into solid the free roaming atoms or molecules will be arrested and they are bound to form lattice and start to have lattice vibrations.
temperature. The higher the temperature of the liquid, the more of the solid you can dissolve in it.
Most solids become liquid at their melting point. Heat water above 0°C, or iron above 1,535°C, and they will become a liquid.
