Scientists refer to the process of a solid turning into a liquid as "melting." This occurs when the solid's temperature is raised above its melting point, causing the solid's particles to gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in a change in state from solid to liquid.

Is solid always a solid?

Yes. Solid is a state of matter - a trait. While matter can change states into liquid or gas, these traits always stay what they are - different states of matter. Just like you can't say - "solid is liquid" but you can say "solid turned into liquid" (and it is no longer solid)

Is a jam a solid liquid or gas?

liquidI would say that it is actually both a liquid and a solid. It definitely is NOT a gas. It "sticks" together like a solid, but still has the viscosity, or fluidity, of a liquid.


True or false freezing is from a solid to a liquid?

Matter will only change from a liquid to a solid when you take away heat.If a liquid turns into a solid when you ADD heat, then something else is happening. It could be a chemical reaction or a more simple example would be if you heat a mixture of something that has water in it and the water evaporates. What is left behind is whatever did not evaporate and could be a solid. This is technically not the same matter that you had before, so you can't say the matter turned into a solid from a liquid by adding heat.
