If I dissolve my compound in a solvent then how does its properties differ from its liquid state? Moreover, by liquid state I mean its melt state. So I am confused between Melt State, Liquid State and Solution State of a compound.
Please help me with a detailed clarification.
Dear Sir. Concerning your issue about the difference between Melt State, Liquid State and Solution State of a compound. Liquid means that the compund, or element is in its liquid state. Aqueous means that the compound, or element is in form of a solution (where solvent is water). Melting is the process in which a solid turns into a liquid. There is a phase change as we can already observe. Melting is also called fusion. It is a physical process of phase change which means we can observe the phenomenon. Melting occurs due to increased energy that was being released by the substance. This will not occur without heat or pressure application. Once heat or pressure is applied, the melting point will definitely occur and change its way from solid to liquid. An example of melting is ice (solid) melting in water which eventually turns to liquid. Dissolving, on the other hand, is a process in which liquid solute or solid solute compound dissolves to form a solution via a solvent. An example is a coffee powder (solid solute) and hot water (solvent). When the coffee powder is mixed in the hot water, it forms a solution (the coffee drink). It is very simple to understand the difference of the two concepts in the examples given. Melting and dissolution are two processes that can be used in chemical industries and mining. Dissolution is often used among gold compounds. Melting, on the other hand, is used more in cooking such as the melting of butter, melting a bar of chocolate, and so on and so forth. These two concepts are specifically discussed in chemistry. The rate of dissolution and melting depends on the compound and the chemical properties of the solute and solvent for dissolving. I think the following below links may help you in your issue:

Thanks
melt state and liquid state of a substance is the same however solution state is different. It is a system of solvent and solute i.e a solution state. The liquid is change of state
