When we melt a solid, it will become a liquid. This is a physical change (as opposed to a chemical one), and meltingis something we observe when ice changes to liquid water.
When a solid turns into a liquid form it is called melting.

∙ 13y agoThe phase transition from a liquid to a solid is called freezing. We see this when we cool water, and the water will eventually freeze to become the familiar solid we call ice.
other names for the phase transition are:
Solidifying.
Congealing.
Crystallizing.
Some substances polymerize and therefore go from a liquid state to a solid state (often under exothermic conditions - they get hot) an example is epoxy.

∙ 12y agoThe change of state where a solid turns into a liquid is termed melting. A solid may melt and become a liquid.
It is called melting .
Naaa the proper term is condensation ;)

Does water expand or contract when it changes from liquid to solid?
when a liquid turns into a solid it contracts
Can energy be transferred from form to another?
yes it can. a solid turns to a liquid at its melting point, a liquid is turned into a gas at its boiling point and last but not least, a gas can turn into a liquid at its dew point also called condinsation, and also last but not least, a liquid turns into a solid at its freezing point.
What do you call this when a solid is heated and turns into a liquid?
melting. Yep, it sure is melting. But also, when a solid becomes a liquid, it basically is heat being applied to the solid, and causing the molecules of the solid to move around, and when the molecules move around, it is not called a solid anymore, but called a liquid, because the molecules are not compact. :D -Dain
How did dry ice get its name?
It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.
What is liquid called when a solid?
Either a substance is a liquid, or it is a solid. It can't be both.If it's a solid, it's called a solid.
What is the state of change from liquid to solid?
It is called melting when a solid turns into a liquid
What is change of state from liquid to solid?
It is called melting when a solid turns into a liquid
What is it called when a gas turns into solid without becoming a liquid first?
when solid turns in gas without passing in liquid,or gas turns in solid without passing in liquid form,the process is called sublimation. Sublimation
What is called when a solid turns into liquid?
Freezing.
The theory that a nation needs colonies is called?
liquid turns to gas b. liquid to a soolid c solid turns to a gas d solid turns to a liquid
What is The change of a substance from solid to liquid?
The change from a solid to a liquid is called melting. The opposite process, a liquid to a solid, is called freezing. When a solid turns directly to a gas, this is called sublimation.
What is it called whena liquid turns into a solid?
It is called Solidification.
What is it called when a solid turns to a liquid then back to a solid?
uhmmm melting
When a solid turns into liquid what is that called?
Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into a liquid, when you freeze ice it turns into a solid. Improved: Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into WATER (a liquid), when you freeze (ice) WATER it turns into a solid, WHICH IS CALLED 'ICE'.
What is it called whenever a solid turns into a liquid?
Evaporation
What is it called when solid turns into liquid?
liquid-solid: solidification solid-liquid: fusion solid-gas(&vice versa): sublimation
When a solid is heated up and turns into a liquid what is it called?
It is called melting.
