What do you call this when a solid is heated and turns into a liquid?

melting.
Yep, it sure is melting. But also, when a solid becomes a liquid, it basically is heat being applied to the solid, and causing the molecules of the solid to move around, and when the molecules move around, it is not called a solid anymore, but called a liquid, because the molecules are not compact. :D

∙ 10y agoThe process by which a solid, when heated, turns into a liquid, is called melting. When heated, the particles of the solid start vibrating due to excess energy, and this vibration causes larger distances to form between the particles, resulting in looser interactions between them. In other words, it becomes more fluid, resulting in a liquid state.

What is it called when a solid turns into a liquid?
When we melt a solid, it will become a liquid. This is a physical change (as opposed to a chemical one), and meltingis something we observe when ice changes to liquid water.When a solid turns into a liquid form it is called melting.
What do you call the transformation of solid to liquid?
That transformation is called melting, when done by heat, or dissolving, when done by a solvent.
What happens when a liquid transforms into solid form it freezes or it melts?
If a liquid changes into a solid it freezes. When you place an ice cube tray with liquid water into the freezer, it will turn into a solid we call ice. If you take that solid ice out of the freezer and leave it on the counter, it will melt into a liquid once again.
What solid is an exception to the rule that solids are more dense than liquids?
The best example is ice, which is the solid form of the liquid we call water. Water's solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, as we know.
What matters can flow?
Simply, there are three types of matter (which scientists call states), solid, liquid and gas. Liquids and gasses can flow. Solids do not. The solid state is defined by the fact that solids can not flow.
What do you call it when a liquid turns to a solid?
Freezing.
What do you call turning a solid into a liquid and the liquid back into a solid?
Ice is a solid and when melted it turns into a liquid freeze it again and it is solid
What is it called when a liquid is turn to solid?
When liquid (water) turns into solid (ice), we usually call it freezing.
When a liquid is heated it can turn into a gas you call this?
You call this process evaporation. When liquid turns into gas due to heat and pressure, evaporation is occurring.
What is the phase change called for liquid to solid?
When a solid is heated and changes to a liquid, the phase change is called melting.
When water changes to its liquid form you call this process?
water is already a liquid! but when its solid form (i.e. the ice) turns to liquid, it's known as melting
What do you call when gas turns into a solid?
The phase change from gas to solid without first going through a liquid phase is called "deposition."
When a liquid turns into a gas what is it call?
evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas

What do you call liquids and gases?
For items that are solid we call them...solid, liquid....we call liquid and gas...gas! Hope that helps, David
What do you call a liquid that has been heated to a gas?
A gas.
What do you call a soild that turns into a liquid and then into a soild again?
WATER! If you put water in a cup and leave it in the freezer it will turn to an ice cube then if you leave it somewhere warm and cosy it will turn back to a liquid again. Try it for yourself even.
