The process is called "melting". It is a characteristic process observed in

virtually all substances, though at a different temperature for each.

What is the change of state when magma crystallizes from igneous rock?

Your question as phrased is unclear. I will proceed to answer both interpretations I have of your question. Note: When magma crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks. 1) What is the change of state when magma forms from igneous rock? - Melting. Rocks are the solid state of matter and magma is the liquid state (although it can be a very viscous liquid). Changing something from solid to liquid is melting. 2) What is the change of state when magma crystallizes to form igneous rocks? - Solidification/Freezing. Magma becomes too cold to continue in a liquid state, it solidifies and crystallizes into solid igneous rocks: freezing.

Solid


How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?

As particles change state from solid to liquid, they gain energy that allows them to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. As heat is added to the system, particles in the solid gain enough energy to break free of their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the transition to a liquid state.


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.


Can stone turn to liquid when heat is applied?

No, stone does not turn to liquid when heat is applied. Instead, stone will typically undergo a phase change from solid to liquid only if it reaches its melting point, which is very high for most types of stone.


Is Play-Doh a solid or liquid?

It's both a liquid with very high viscosity and a solid with very low degree of 'hardness'.


Can chlorine change from a gas to a liquid or solid?

Chlorine can change from a gas to a liquid or solid under specific conditions. At room temperature and pressure, chlorine is a gas. By reducing the temperature or increasing the pressure, chlorine can be condensed into a liquid. At very low temperatures, chlorine can solidify into a crystalline form.


Is sunflower a solid a liquid?

A sunflower is a very special liquid.


Physical change from solid to liquid?

The physical change from a solid to a liquid is called melting. This process occurs when heat is added to a solid, causing the particles to gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in a change from a solid state to a liquid state. Examples include melting ice to form liquid water or melting chocolate to form a liquid consistency.


What happens when solid metals are heated in very high temperatures?

When solid metals are heated to very high temperatures, they undergo a phase change from solid to liquid through a process called melting. The atoms in the metal gain enough kinetic energy to break free from their fixed positions in the solid lattice structure and start to flow past each other as a liquid.


Does liquid water become a solid when it freezes?

Yes. A liquid becoming a solid is the very definition of freezing.
