No it is not
It turns from a solid to a liquid
This is the melting point.
melting
The process of solid to liquid is called melting. This occurs when a solid substance is heated to its melting point, at which the solid transitions into a liquid state.
The process of a solid changing into a liquid is called melting. This occurs when the temperature of the solid reaches its melting point, causing the solid to transition into a liquid state.
The temperature at which a solid melts is called the melting point. At this temperature, the solid transitions into a liquid state.
The change in state from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
When a solid melts, it changes its state from solid to liquid. This process is called melting.
Melting is from 'solid to liquid', freezing is from liquid changing to solid state
liquid-solid: solidification solid-liquid: fusion solid-gas(&vice versa): sublimation
At the melting point, a solid absorbs heat energy and its particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This results in the solid changing to a liquid state. The temperature remains constant during this phase change until all the solid has melted.
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
