solidifying or freezing, releasing energy to the environment.
Melting, or melting point.
The phase change from a solid to a liquid is called "melting."
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
Liquid to solid is a phase change.
Phase change
It will usually change to liquid phase.
Solid to liquid.
That means liquid to/from a solid ... or liquid to/from a gas.
melting
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.
The melting phase changes are Solid~Liquid~Gas and the freezing phase changes are Gas~Liquid~Solid
