melt that sucker

In general terms, what distinguishes solids from liquids (and liquids from gases) is the amount of energy in the molecules. If there's little energy in the molecules, they just clump together rather still. If they've got more, they bounce around more loosely, and are a liquid. If they've got so much energy they're kicking around almost uncontrollably, then they're a gas (and they have so much energy they float away!).

So what the others are saying is right: you melt a solid into a liquid by applying energy. You can do this by applying heat: the molecules absorb the heat energy and it becomes a liquid. This is also how you can melt things in a microwave: the solid absorbs the microwave energy and becomes a liquid.

Only way is to apply heat

When solid turns liquid, the atoms in that component is heat thus vibrates and slowly it break down the fixated arrangement turning from solid to liquid.

Yikes. No. gas is between the three classic states of count number. good, liquid and gas. ultimate occasion is water. it is its liquid type. while raised above its boiling factor that's steam a gas. while cooled under its freezing factor that's ice, its good type.

depending on the solid, apply heat [just melt some cheese]
