Solution

$F u s i o n$ - the process of causing a material or object to melt with intense heat.

$F u s i o n p o i n t$ : The temperature at which melting takes place

$S o l i d i f i c a t i o n$ : a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point

$S o l i d i f i c a t i o n p o i n t$ :The temperature at which solidification starts taking place

$V a p o r i s a t i o n$ of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapour

$B o i l i n g p o i n t$ of a liquid is the special case in which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the defined atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere.
