There are three main states that a substance can exist as: solid, liquid and gas. The transition between these states occur when a substance is heated or cooled past their freezing/melting or boiling/condensing points.

Solid -> Liquid = Melting

Liquid -> Gas = Boiling

Gas -> Liquid = Condensing

Liquid -> Solid = Freezing
