Melting. What happens to ice cubes when you take them out of the freezer

The process in which a solid changes into a liquid is called Melting. When a solid gains enough energy, it can overcome some of the attracting forces. Then it changes state, from a solid to a liquid.
Cheers!

When a solid changes to its liquid state it is called fusion or melting. The temperature at which this occurs is called melting point and the energy required to change a solid to a liquid is known as Latent Heat of Fusion. It has different values for different substances.

Melting. Ice changing to liquid water.
When heat energy is added to a solid, the particles speed up and move further apart and move more freely but are still in contact. This is the liquid state. If you continue to add thermal energy to the liquid, the particles would speed up even more and keep moving further apart as they enter the gas state. That process is called vaporization and there are actually two kinds of vaporization - evaporation (which only occurs on the surface of a liquid) and boiling (which occurs below the surface).

It's called liquification/melting. You can change a solid substance to liquid via heating. Example- converting any metal into the molten state via heating, like in a blast furnace.

Changes from solid/liquid/gas are called "phase transitions". A good reference is Wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition
Here is a quote from that site:
The transitions between the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases, due to the effects of temperature and pressure:
* The solid-to-liquid transition is called melting
* The liquid-to-solid transition is called freezing
* The liquid-to-gas transition is called boiling / evaporation
* The gas-to-liquid transition is called condensation
* The solid-to-gas transition is called sublimation
* The gas-to-solid transition is called deposition
Thus, ice melting to water is a solid-to-liquid transition.
Hope this helps!

Liquefy "liquefied wax"
or Melt "melted ice"
Melt is used for solid-liquid changes involving heat energy.
Liquefy is used more to indicate that the solid-liquid change is caused by something else.

Cornstarch is a competent occasion. somebody suggested squeezing it. My fashionable trick replaced into to mixture it in a bowl with a spoon. as long as you gently stirred it you are able to pour it from the spoon. yet once you tried to jam the spoon down into the bowl the spoon would only bounce off. As suggested above it somewhat is a non-newtonian fluid of the shear fee thickening style "dilatant fluid" may be the term you're searching for. would be a Rheopectic substance. propose you study Rheological habit.

i dont know the name, but an example is when an ice cube changes into water.
