Question

What happens when the temperature of a solid reaches it melting point?

Answer 1

• Answer:
• When a solid is heated the particles gain energy and start to vibrate faster and faster.
• Although the particles are still loosely connected they are able to move around. At this point the solid is melting to form a liquid. The particles in the liquid are the same as in the solid but they have more energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

It becomes a liquid

Temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance is callee melting point. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
