There is no fixed speed for the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase. The maximum speed this can happen at is the speed of light as this is how fast the energy can be transferred to a molecule, and there is no minimum speed. Some substances do not melt into a liquid. Instead they make the transition straight from solid phase into gas phase, and this is called sublimation.

Does solid to liquid rise in temperature?
Not Really, Unless You Are Burning The Solid, Really.
How are freezing point and melting point alike?
They are the same temperature except for a small matter of semantics. Freezing point is when a liquid becomes a solid Melting point is when a solid becomes a liquid.
What happens if you constantly increase the temperature on a solid- gas or plasma I mean if you infinitely increase the temperature on a gas what is the next phase it will go?
It will change states from a gas to plasma. The order of standard phase is solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
When a solid dissolves in liquid where does it go?
it doesnt go anywhere. The solid breaks up in really small pieces, and mixes with the liquid.
When a solid melts its temperature remains same so where does the temperature goes?
Temperature indicate kinetic energy density in molecular vibration. Over phase change, energy go to motion and fight against molecular interaction make it mobile. Liquid is more mobile in compare to solid Vapour is more mobile in compare to liquid. Molecular vibration (temperature) stay the same while the energy input go to mobility (latent heat).
Is carbon a liquid at room temperature?
No. Carbon is a solid at room temperature and will sublimate (go from solid straight to gas i.e. no liquid) at 3900 Kelvin.
Does solid to liquid rise in temperature?

What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
Why if you put a hot liquid on a cold solid the liquid turns into a solid?
It shows to go you that the cold solid object has much more than enough specfic cold to absorbe the heat of the liguid.
How does a solid goes to a liquid then go to a gas?
Definitely on heating a solid can change into liquid state because on heating the kinetic energy of the particles of solid increase and they move more freely.At stage a particular stage particles leave their definite place and solid change into liquid.Again when we heat liquid it changes into on a particular temperature at atmospheric temperature and this temperature is known as its boiling point
How does matter go from a solid to a liquid?
particles of solid gain energy from the higher temperature outside and begin to move faster overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles and turn into a liquid!
Are all fats liquid at room temperature?
No, they are not. Butter will not go liquid at room temperature, unless it's in a hot room. (In most moderate room temperatures it is still solid). Lard melts an an even higher temperature than butter. Generally it's animal fats that are solid at room temperature.
What happens to molecules when their temperature high?
They vibrate with more energy. Depending on their starting state, they may go from solid to liquid or gas, and from liquid to gas.
What is freezing an thawing?
Freezing is lowering temperature so that a liquid turns into a solid. Thawing is the opposite - warming a solid until it turns to liquid. Where foods are concerned, it's the liquid part of the food that makes it go solid and hard when frozen, and softens the food when thawed.
When a solid melts and temperature remains the same so where does that heat energy go?
It increases the molecular energy of the substance, the molecules of a liquid move faster than those of a solid at the same temperature.
How do molecules behave during the solid liquid and gas phases?
When an object is solid, molecules get packed in a place. They cannot move freely. The force of attraction is great. So it gives the object a solid shape. When the object is liquid, molecules Move A little bit freely, so the force of attraction is less when the object is liquid. And when the object is gas, the molecules move very freely. They bump onto each other. The force of attraction is very very very less. That's why, gases move freely and go away.
What happens when solid turns into gas?
The gas can't generally turn straight into a solid, it has to change into a liquid and then a solid. When a gas turns into a liquid, the particles go closer together into groups and condensate. When the liquid turns into a solid, the particles all compress into a small space thus making a solid object.-----------------------------------------------------------------------But the phenomenon of change from a gas to a solid is also very known and is called deposition.
