If you get up to the right temperature, any substance can turn into a liquid or a gas (since in some cases, e.g. Iodine, the solid skips the liquid stage and turns straight into a gas. this is called Subliming).

For example, here is a list of some of the things we would normally never think of as a liquid or gas!

Gold Melting Point: 1064.18°C, 1947.52°F -- Boiling Point: 2856°C, 5173°F

Copper Melting Point: 1084.62°C, 1984.32°F -- Boiling Point: 2562°C, 4643°F

Calcuium Melting Point: 842°C, 1548°F -- Boiling Point: 1484°C, 2703°F

And just for fun, here are temperatures needed to turn some gasses into solids:

Oxygen Melting Point: -218.79°C, -361.82°F -- Boiling Point: -182.95°C, -297.31°F

Nitrogen Melting Point: -210.00°C, -346.00°F -- Boiling Point: -195.79°C, -320.3342°F

Xenon Melting Point: −111.7°C, −169.1°F -- Boiling Point: −108.12°C, −162.62°F It should be pointed out that some solids undergo sublimation where they go from solid phase to gas phase without a liquid phase, a detailed Periodic Table should tell you which solids sublime, an example is carbon.

When solid NaCl is heated from room temperature it melts. Explain the change?

By heating the internal energy of a solid increase what leads to melting when the crystalline system is destroyed and the solid become a liquid.


Is it true or false that when solid melts it turns into gas?

both. It depends what substance it is. For example: solid water (ice) melts into liquid water (water) and then that melts into gas water (water vapour). Another example is that frozen carbon dioxide (c02)which is a solid also known as dry ice, melts into c02 gas hence the name dry ice because when it melts it goes straight into a gas state.
