Liquid to solid is a phase change.
The process of a liquid turning into a solid is called solidification or, more commonly, freezing.
SUBLIMATION: It is a process in which a solid instead of changing into liquid state changes directly into gaseous state upon heating. MELTING: It is a process in which a solid at its melting point changes into liquid state upon heating.
Metals can be solid or liquid. Through Melting Phase Transition, the solid metal will change its state from solid to liquid. Through Freezing Phase Transition, the liquid metal will change its state from liquid to solid.
Solids are the only phase of matter which have a fixed shape and volume.
It is when a Gas goes directly to a Solid skipping the Liquid phase.
In chemistry, sublimation refers to the process in which a solid substance converts directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state.
freezing (phase change)
The name of the phase of turning liquids into solids is the freezing point. It is called solidification. :)
Sublimation causes a change from solid straight to liquid or vica-verca, skipping the liquid phase altogether. Examples are mothballs and dry ice (frozen CO2).
The melting phase changes are Solid~Liquid~Gas and the freezing phase changes are Gas~Liquid~Solid
Liquid to solid is a phase change.
Solid to liquid
The liquid to gas phase change is vaporizing; the reverse is condensing. The other phase changes are: - solid to liquid: melting - liquid to solid: freezing - solid to gas: sublimation - gas to solid: deposition
Sublimination
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
The phase change from a solid to a liquid is called "melting."
