Melting
(a) a process where solid is changed to liquid state
(b) Melting point of ice is 0ºC
Solidification
(a) reverse of melting, from liquid to solid state
(b) Since the melting point of ice is 0ºC, solidification starts to occur
(c)When solid melts the strong intermolecular bonds needs to be broken, to do so energy is needed. That is why there is no change in the temperature during melting.
(d)When liquid molecule come together & solidfy, intermolecular bonds are formed. THERMAl energy is therefore given out
