Melting
The process of going from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
Solid to liquid is known as melting, where a solid substance transitions into a liquid state by absorbing heat energy. Liquid to solid is known as freezing, where a liquid substance transitions into a solid state by releasing heat energy.
It involves the states of matter. Evaporation is liquid changing to gas. Condensation is gas going to liquid. Freezing is liquid going to solid. These next two are less heard of. Sublimation is solid going directly to gas. Deposition is gas to solid.
The process of going from a solid to a liquid is called melting. When heat is applied to a solid, such as ice, it turns into a liquid form, which is water.

LIQUDIFCATION!!!!!!!! Change of phase; the process is called melting.
Both transitions, from solid to liquid and liquid to gas are purely Physical Changes. There is nothing Chemical happening.
Neither sentence is correct, state is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. If you melt ice-you are going from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water), if you freeze water - you are going from a liquid (water) to a solid (ice).
Going from gas to solid is Deposition, from solid to gas is Sublimation
It depends on the phase change. When going from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (boiling), or solid to gas (sublimation) heat is absorbed. When going from gas to liquid (condensation), liquid to solid (freezing), and gas to solid (deposition) heat is released.
