Thanks a lot for this answer! When a solid object such as Steel, bricks or even Iron are heated, the molecules of these objectives absorb heat and energy. This makes the otherwise, very stationary molecules to start vibrating.
As more and more heat is given to a solid object, the molecules faster and more vigorously and if they absorb enough heat, the bonds between molecules becomes less and less, eventually resulting in solids, melting. They melt and have look like a liquid, because due to high heat, the molecules are now reacting like the ones found in a liquid, loose and vibrating more.
If even more heat is given to this object, the bonds between molecules will further weaken, they will start moving even more vigorously, eventually turning the solid object into a gas.
This is observable in a volcano, where Stones are so heated, that they turn into Lava and some even into Gas
