At any state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas), the molecules that make up tis matter are at a certain speed. To change one's state of matter, you must change it's temperature. For Example, H2O can be any state of matter. As a solid, ice, the molecules are stopped or moving very slowly, which makes it a solid. To speed up the molecules, you apply heat, which in turn, makes the ice, water, a liquid. To heat again would make the water a gas, water vapor. The same thing works reversed. The water vapor is hot, and so it is attracted to something cold, such as a mirror when you take a hot shower. This act, condensation, is alo responsible for water on the side of a drinking glass. Once the hot vapor touches the hot object (think about cooking with a lid), it becomes instantly colder, and it becomes water again. To freeze it could make (as shown in the water cycle), ice, snow, or sleet, once again, making it a solid. I hope this answered your question.

it melts and evaporates

If it is in the case of water, the ice (solid) would turn into water (liquid) first, then evaporate into steam (gas).

Which liquid does not turn into a solid?

There is none. every liquid becomes a solid one way or another. its due to freezing, once any liquid is cold enough the molecules compact and make it a solid, and vis vera with a solid. gases are a complete different story but that's not what your looking for. so the answer is, there is no liquid that does not turn into a solid.


Can gases turn into liquid or solid?

The short answer is either. Carbon dioxide when it is frozen is a solid, it does not have a liquid state. Many other gases would become liquid under pressure, like lighter fuel in a cigarette lighter or gas in a calor gas container.
