In order for molecules in a solid state to change to a liquid state, the substance needs to be heated. An increase in temperature causes more molecular movement (this leaves more space between each molecule) which results in what we see as the physical change from solid to liquid and then eventually liquid to gas.
When a liquid changes to the solid state, the molecules slow down so that they only vibrate in place and can no longer flow like a liquid.
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing, not melting; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.

Changing phase (solid, liquid, gas) requires energy. Adding energy allows the molecules to move apart and solid change to liquid or liquids change to gases.

That could cause a change from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas.
