Physical change
condensation.........wht?
2 solid and liquid
Melting is the change from solid to liquid.
No. It is a physical change. You must understand that water can be in any one of three PHYSICAL states, liquid, solid or vapor ( a gas ). Changing physical states is not a chemical change, but a direct result of heat or cold application.
a solid turns into a liquid or the liquid stage when it reaches its melting point.
The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.
A change of phase, from solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, or gas to liquid, etc., is also sometimes called a change of state.
The liquid may boil and become a gas.

Please note that a "change of state" involves TWO states, not just one. Using just the three most common states of matter: * A solid can change to a gas * A liquid can change to a gas * A gas can change to a liquid * A gas can change to a solid * A solid can change to a liquid * A liquid can change to a solid The first four changes in the list above involve gases.

Evaporation is a change from liquid water to a water vapour.
The following will change state from solid to liquid.
What is called the change of state of liquid to gas
The three forms (solid, liquid and vapour) are interchangeable and can change from one physical state to another. Chemically, they exist as H2O molecules throughout.Solid ice melts on heating to become liquid water. Liquid water boils on heating to become gaseous steam.Conversely, gaseous steam condenses on cooling to become liquid water. Liquid water solidifies on cooling to become solid ice.On heating: ice -> water -> steamOn cooling: steam -> water -> ice
