What does liquids become when they freeze?
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
Why solid do not mix well but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases?
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
When a solid is changed to a liquid phase the solid?
Some gasses turn into liquids when compressed (propane, butane), some turn into liquids when chilled to very cold temperatures (oxygen, nitrogen).
What is the physical state at room temperature for most metals?
With the exception of mercury and bromine, which is a liquid, metals are solid at room temperature.
During what phase change does the arrangement of water molecules become most orderly?
During fusion, or the formation of a solid, as in liquid water turning to ice.
How a solid change into a liquid?
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.
Are most metals liquids or solid at room temperature?
Solid

What is the order of least to most with solid liquids and gases?
solid, liquid then gas
What does a solid heat up to become?
liquid - depending on what the solid was to start with
What happens to water when frozen that doesen't happen to any other liquid?
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)
In what way is the solid form of a liquid not typical of the solid form of most liquids?
The physical properties are of course different.

Does a lump of iron float?
Solid iron will float in liquid Mercury. In most liquids it will sink.
What is the difference between measuring a solid than a liquid?
With liquids you can just stick in a thermometer into it. But with solids sometimes you can't do that (because it's solid obviously) so I guess measuring liquids is more accurate in most cases.
Will a solid turn into a liquid if enough heat is removed?
Most plastics are actually liquids .... they are just very viscous. The glass in your window is also a liquid. A solid has a defined crystal structure. Things like asphalt, plastic, and glass don't have a crystal structure and are therefore liquids. Really think, viscous liquids. As you heat them, they become softer and softer as opposed to melting and changing to a liquid all at once.
How do a liquid change into a solid?
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.
