SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting (an older term that you may see sometimes is fusion). The opposite process, a liquid becoming a solid, is called solidification.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature at which a solid gets converted into its liquid state without further increase in temperature is called its melting point. For example, ice(solid) at 0∘ C melts to form water(liquid) at 0∘ C by the absorption of heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the kinetic energy of particles and space between them become similar to the liquid, the matter fulfills the condition of arrangement of particles. In this condition a solid changes into liquid. On heating the particles of a liquid gets more kinetic energy and they start moving more rapidly.
