A vapor becomes a liquid by condensation, and a solid by freezing. Freezing does not mean cold. Anything that is solid is frozen.
The temperature affecting the liquid must have been below freezing for the liquid to turn into a solid.
The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid, while the freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid. Both points represent the equilibrium between the solid and liquid phases of a substance.
Freezing is the change in state from liquid to solid.
Solid --> Liquid = melting Other changes of state: Solid --> Gas = sublimation Gas --> Solid = deposition Liquid --> Solid = freezing/solidification Gas --> Liquid = condensation Liquid --> Gas = vaporization
The action when a liquid turns into a solid is known as freezing.
When matter changes from a liquid to a solid the change of state is called "freezing." When it changes from solid to liquid it is called "melting".
The process of a liquid changing into a solid is called solidification or freezing.
Melting is from 'solid to liquid', freezing is from liquid changing to solid state
Freezing is the process by which a liquid changes into a solid by decreasing its temperature below its freezing point.
The process of liquid turning into solid is called solidification or freezing.
gas -> liquid = condensation liquid -> solid = solidification (freezing) solid -> gas = sublimation gas -> solid = deposition solid -> liquid = melting liquid -> solid = vaporization
