Just melting.
ice, it melts
The change of state from solid to liquid is called melting.
The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.
Melting ice is an example of a physical change. When ice melts, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.
both. It depends what substance it is. For example: solid water (ice) melts into liquid water (water) and then that melts into gas water (water vapour). Another example is that frozen carbon dioxide (c02)which is a solid also known as dry ice, melts into c02 gas hence the name dry ice because when it melts it goes straight into a gas state.
Changes in state are called phase transitions. Each of the phase transitions has a technical name and many have common names. The change from solid to liquid is fusion (or melting). The change from liquid to solid is solidification (or freezing). The change from liquid to gas is vaporization (or boiling). The change from gas to liquid is condensation. The change from solid to gas is sublimation.
"freezing" "solidification"
As solid ice melts into liquid water, the thermal energy absorbed by the ice increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules. This results in a temperature increase as the solid transitions into a liquid state. The thermal energy absorbed during melting is used to break the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the solid ice lattice.
a liquid to a solid is called the melting point:-)
It's still called melting. We don't have a special name for when rubidium melts; it's just melting, or if you need something more elaborate, it is a phase change from solid to liquid.
At the melting point, a solid absorbs heat energy and its particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This results in the solid changing to a liquid state. The temperature remains constant during this phase change until all the solid has melted.
This change of phase is called freezing.
