Inter Conversion Of Solid, Liquid and Gas

Solid to Liquid: ( melting )
       A substance changes from the solid phase to liquid phase, that process is called melting. It is otherwise known as fusion.
Example: Ice cube into water.

Liquids to Solid: ( freezing )
      A substance changes from the liquid phase to solid phase when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. This process is called freezing. It is otherwise known as solidification.
Example: Water change into ice.

Liquid to Gas: ( Boiling )
       A substance changes from the liquid phase to gas phase . This process is called boiling. The temperature at which it boils is called Boiling point.
Example: Water boiling.

Gas to Liquid: ( condensation )
        Change in the state of matter from the gas phase to liquid phase. The transition happens from the gaseous phase to solid phase directly the change is called deposition.

Solid to Gas: ( sublimation )
         Changes in the state of matter from the solid phase to gas phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase.This process is called sublimation. This endothermic phase transition occurs at temperature and pressure below the triple point.
