The phase change from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation.
The phase is a gas; the process is called boiling or evaporation.
Condensation
sublimation
The change from gas to liquid is condensation. The change from liquid to solid is freezing or solidification. The change from solid to liquid is melting. The change from liquid to gas is vapourisation or boiling. The collective term that can apply to any one of these is a phase change.
Gas -> liquid = condinsation Liquid -> solid = solidification Solid -> liquid = fusion Liquid -> gas = evaporation Solid directly to gas (with out becoming liquid) = sublimation Example = dry ice at room temperature.
Oiling out is the formation of a second liquid phase during a recrystallization process.

Melting is the lay term but the term used by chemists is fusion.

Either solidification or freezing can be used to describe the change from a liquid to a solid.You might tend to say the lava solidified into rock and the water froze into ice but actually, either term would be correct.
The change from liquid to gas at the surface of a liquid is known as vaporization.
Simple: a transformation from a solid to a liquid.
