- Melting - Wikipedia
Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point
- Melting | Meaning, Phase Change, Heat Transfer, Temperature - Britannica
Melting describes the change of a solid into a liquid when heat is applied In a pure crystalline solid, this process occurs at a fixed temperature called the melting point
- Melting: Definition, Characteristics, and Melting Point Values
Melting is the physical process by which a solid turns into a liquid after absorbing enough heat This change of state occurs at a specific temperature called the melting point, which varies depending on the substance
- What Is the Definition of Melting? - ThoughtCo
Melting is the process by which a substance changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase Melting is also known as fusion, although this term has several meanings in science
- Melting - definition of melting by The Free Dictionary

- Melting - (Physical Science) - Vocab, Definition, Explanations | Fiveable
Melting occurs when a substance absorbs heat energy, causing its particles to vibrate more rapidly until they break free from their fixed positions in the solid state Different substances have different melting points; for example, ice melts at 0°C while iron melts at about 1,538°C
- Melting - New World Encyclopedia
In physics and chemistry, melting is the process of converting a solid substance to its liquid form, typically by heating the substance to a temperature called its melting point
- 12. 5: Melting, Freezing, and Sublimation - Chemistry LibreTexts
The melting point of a solid is the same as the freezing point of the liquid At that temperature, the solid and liquid states of the substance are in equilibrium
