One solid that melt easily
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Water
Explanation:
The most common example is ice melting to water. Many substances are solid at a lower temperature and liquid above a certain temperature. That is the melting point of that substance. When heated above that temperatures, the solid becomes a liquid.
Water melts at 0 centrigrate (0 c) and 32 Fahrenheit (32 F). Some other interesting melting points:
Gallium, a silver-colored metal, melts at 86 degrees Fahrenheit. So it is a solid at room temperature, but will melt in your hand.
Most metals have much higher melting points. Gold melts at 1,948 F. Lead melts at a much lower temperature than many metals, 622 F. That is why it is a good component of solder, a soft metal that can be used to attach things to metals that melt at higher temperatures.
Melting should not be confused with dissolving. For example, ordinary salt (sodium chloride) is a solid at room temperature with a very high melting point of 800 c, 1,474 F. When salt melts, it is chemically still the same as when it is solid. When salt is dissolved in water - which can happen at room temperature - it changes chemically. The sodium chloride splits up and becomes a solution of sodium and chlorine ions in water.
Thus, the last words of the Wicked Witch of the West were not true. She should not have said, “I’m melting!” More properly, she was dissolving.
