melting.
Yep, it sure is melting. But also, when a solid becomes a liquid, it basically is heat being applied to the solid, and causing the molecules of the solid to move around, and when the molecules move around, it is not called a solid anymore, but called a liquid, because the molecules are not compact. :D

What else can I help you with?
What do you call the transformation of solid to liquid?
That transformation is called melting, when done by heat, or dissolving, when done by a solvent.
What is it called when a solid turns into a liquid?
When we melt a solid, it will become a liquid. This is a physical change (as opposed to a chemical one), and meltingis something we observe when ice changes to liquid water.When a solid turns into a liquid form it is called melting.
What do we call the amount of energy required to change from a liquid to a solid?
The amount of energy required to change from a liquid to a solid is called the heat of fusion. This energy is needed to disrupt the intermolecular forces holding the particles in a liquid state and rearrange them into a solid structure. It is also known as the latent heat of fusion.
What happens when a liquid transforms into solid form it freezes or it melts?
When a liquid transforms into a solid, it freezes by losing energy and allowing the particles to arrange in a more ordered structure. Conversely, when a solid transforms into a liquid, it melts by gaining energy, causing the particles to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely.
What is it called when a solid transforms into a gas?
AnswerWhen a solid gains enough thermal energy, it will melt and become a liquid. When it has gained more thermal energy, it will evaporate or boil and become a gas. These are changes of state, and they are physical changes, and not chemical ones.
What do you call it when a liquid turns to a solid?
Freezing.
What is it called when a liquid is turn to solid?
When liquid (water) turns into solid (ice), we usually call it freezing.
When a liquid is heated it can turn into a gas you call this?
You call this process evaporation. When liquid turns into gas due to heat and pressure, evaporation is occurring.
What do you call turning a solid into a liquid and the liquid back into a solid?
Ice is a solid and when melted it turns into a liquid freeze it again and it is solid
What do you call when a solid turns straight into a gas?
A solid that turns directly into a gas is dry ice. Sublimation
What is the phase change called for liquid to solid?
When a solid is heated and changes to a liquid, the phase change is called melting.
What do you call the transformation of solid to liquid?
That transformation is called melting, when done by heat, or dissolving, when done by a solvent.
When water changes to its liquid form you call this process?
water is already a liquid! but when its solid form (i.e. the ice) turns to liquid, it's known as melting
When a liquid turns into a gas what is it call?
evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas
What do you call a liquid that has been heated to a gas?
A liquid that has been heated to a gas is called vapor.
What do you call the change in a state of matter from a solid to a liquid?
The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition
What do you call liquids and gases?
For items that are solid we call them...solid, liquid....we call liquid and gas...gas! Hope that helps, David
