freezing
state of matter
Freezing
Heating can change matter from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. Cooling can change matter from a gas to a liquid or from a liquid to a solid.
the matter can change into liquid, solid and gas.
Condensation (gas to liquid or solid or liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid or solid to gas), sublimation (solid to gas), solidification (liquid to solid), or melting (solid to liquid).
Phase change
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.
a phase change: solid to liquid: melting liquid to solid: freezing liquid to gas: vaporization gas to liquid: condensation solid to gas: sublimation gas to solid: deposition
Because melting is a change of state: from solid to liquid.
Freezing/solidification
Melting.
The process is melting.
