This physical phenomenon (a change of phase) is called melting; during melting the chemical nature of molecules is not changed.

When a solid turns into a liquid?

When a solid turns into a liquid, the substance has melted.


How do you describe each phase change?

Endothermic phase changes - the substance is gaining energy (being heated) and the molecules are getting more active.- solid to liquid: melting- liquid to gas: vaporization- solid to gas: sublimationExothermic phase changes - the substance is losing energy (cooling) and the molecules are slowing down.- gas to liquid: condensation- liquid to solid: freezing- gas to solid: depositionMemory helper: exo is like exit, and the heat energy exits the substance during an exothermic phase change.


Melting and freezing?

Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to an increase in temperature, while freezing is the opposite process where a liquid turns into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. Both melting and freezing involve changes in the physical state of a substance without changing its chemical composition.


What are freezing?

The temperature at which a substance that is in a liquid state of matter turns into the solid state of matter.


What includes melting?

Melting is the process in which a solid substance changes to a liquid state as it is heated. This change occurs when the substance's temperature reaches its melting point, at which the intermolecular forces holding the solid structure together weaken, and the solid turns into a liquid.


How do you transfer a liquid substance to solid substance?

u freeze it. like water and if u freeze it, it turns in2 ice or a solid. HOPED IT HELPED!:)


How is the freezing point of a substance related to the melting point of the substance?

The freezing point and melting point of a substance are the same temperature but represent opposite phase transitions. The freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid, while the melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid.


When referring to gas liquid and solid matter what are the names of the 4 processes of changing states?

Gas -> Solid = Deposition Solid -> Gas = Sublimation Gas -> Liquid = Condensation Liquid -> Gas = Evaporation Solid -> Liquid = Freezing Liquid -> Solid = Melting Hope that helps. Qualifications: I googled it. You should try sometime ^^ + 1 year Chemistry education


What does melting point and freezing point mean?

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid, while the freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid. Both points represent the equilibrium between the solid and liquid phases of a substance.


What substance can be converted from liquid to solid and can not be converted back to liquid?

There is no such substance. Because only a transformation of physical state is taking place. Let me expand: Every substance has a specific temperature at which it changes its physical state. The temp. at which the substance turns into liquid is known as melting point and the temp. at which the liquid turns to solid is known as freezing point. Usually the melting point and the freezing points of a substance are the same. (But there are certain exeptions to this rule.) So if the temperature at which the substance turns into liquid is acheived i.e the melting point - then it definitely would become liquid again.


What happends at the melting point?

The melting point of a solid chemically pure substance is a temperature at which the substance can change from a solid to a liquid phase by absorbing heat, called the "heat of fusion", without any change in the internal temperature of the substance. At any specified ambient pressure, there is only one such temperature for each pure substance.


What is the temperature at which a solid turns into liquid?

It depends on what the material is. H2O changes from solid to liquid at approximately zero degrees C. That is not the case for any other solid. For example, lead turns into a liquid at about 327.5 degrees C.
