Question

When heat is being supplied to a solid, then what does the heat energy do to the particles of
solid?

Answer 1

solid have tightly packed atoms...means they have very less space to move
when we supply heat..atoms start vibrating on their mean position
Basically when we supply energy in the form of heat...they attain some vibrational Kinetic energy.

Thanks

Answer 2

We know that Solids have tightly packed molecular space. So that when the heat is being supplied the molecules of solid start vibration on their position and try to move and when heat is given it brakes intermolecular space of the solid and it become liquid.
