The change of state from solid to liquid is called melting.
At the melting point, a solid absorbs heat energy and its particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This results in the solid changing to a liquid state. The temperature remains constant during this phase change until all the solid has melted.
Melting ice is an example of a physical change. When ice melts, it changes from a solid state to a liquid state without altering its chemical composition.
The change of state that occurs when osmium is heated from 4000°C to 6000°C is sublimation. Osmium sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.
Sublimation is the name of the phase transition when a substance changes from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly to a gas without going through a liquid phase. The reverse of sublimation is still called condensation ie it does not have a 'special' name. Solid carbon dioxide and solid iodine both sublimate - they do not melt.
Changing solid water (ice) into liquid water involves a physical change known as melting. This process requires the addition of energy to break the intermolecular bonds holding the ice molecules together, allowing them to move more freely and form a liquid state.
a liquid to a solid is called the melting point:-)
Some changes of physical state are described by a single word, for example, the change from a liquid state to a gaseous state is called boiling, and the change from a liquid state to a solid state is called freezing. There is, however, no single word which means change of physical state in general.
The state change in which a solid becomes a gas is called sublimation. This occurs when a solid substance directly transitions into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. The state change in which a liquid becomes a gas is called evaporation or vaporization. This occurs when a liquid substance turns into a gas by absorbing heat energy.
The scientific name for conversion of liquid to solid is called "Freezing" or "solidification".

Just melting.
"freezing" "solidification"
The change of state that occurs when osmium is heated from 4000°C to 6000°C is sublimation. Osmium sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.
Compounds do not get a new name when they change physical state. Carbon dioxide's name in the liquid state in just "liquid carbon dioxide"
This change of phase is called freezing.
