All you have to do is freeze it.
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 transition state
The heat energy, or enthalpy, associated with a solid to liquid transition is the enthalpy of fusion and that associated with a solid to gas transition is the enthalpy of sublimation.
Solidification or Crystallization
It is called melting when a solid turns into a liquid
Phase transition
melting
In physics, the solid to liquid process is known as melting. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. There is a change in phase or a phase transition in a substance when there is a change in either its temperature or pressure. The melting process is a phase transition.
The phase transition from a liquid to a solid is called freezing or solidification.
Sublimation is the transition directly from solid to gas, without the intermediary liquid stage. The reverse (the transition directly from gas to solid) is called deposition or desublimation.
scandium is a solid Transition metal.
it belongs to the transition metals so, I would say it is a SOLID.
