I'm assuming you are talking about sub-atomic particles.
The act of melting cannot be applied to particles because melting refers to a change of state of a substance. Substances, whether they be compounds or elemental, are a collection of atoms. These atoms, can be of 3 different states, depending on their temperature. If below the particular substance's melting point, it is solid. Between the melting and boiling point, the substance is liquid, and above the boiling point, the substance is gaseous. The state of the substance refers to the total amount of energy within the substance. Heat is energy, and melting a substance is only adding energy to it. the substance, on a molecular level, does not change when melting occurs.
Therefore, melting a particle cannot occur, only energy can be added, which increases movement of the particles.

∙ 13y agoNo. It is physically imposible for elements to melt, because of the shear nature of their tenacity.

∙ 14y agoYes, though haw much it has to be heated depends on the element. Heat it far enough annd most will turn into gas.

Why wood can not melt?
It burns because it's made up of fibrous tissue from organic material. Natural elements melt, like all metals, not plants.
What element would melt in boiling water?
all the elements that has low boiling point than of the water.
What is an ore that is mixed with other substances and then melt to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains in the process?
Hfet
What is the future tense for melt?
Will melt is the future tense of melt.
Energy required to melt a solid into a liquid?
Energy is given off when cooling from a liquid to a solid. How much depends on the elements involved and the amount.

Is water the only substance that occurs naturally as solid liquid and gas?
No. Many substances melt and boil. Most of the elements, and many substances melt and boik without decomposition.
Why should you NOT repair heating elements by soldering?
The solder will most likely melt at the operating temperature of the heater.
What element would melt in boiling water?
all the elements that has low boiling point than of the water.
Which radioactive element does not melt?
The melting points of elements 104 to 118 are not firmly established but they are all solid at room temperature and so it is assumed that they melt at some temperature.Helium and carbon do not melt. Helium is not radioactive but carbon does have isotopes: C-13 and C-14 which are radioactive.
What is an ore that is mixed with other substances and then melt to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains in the process?
Hfet
What is overload current?
A current greater than which a circuit is designed to carry , may melt wires or damage elements of the circuit.This is known as overloading of current.
How do you determine an elements melting point?
You heat s solid, pure piece of it slowly and measure the temperature of the melt while there is still solid present.
What is the future tense for melt?
Will melt is the future tense of melt.
What do you use to find absolute age through radioactive dating?
You measure the amount of radioactive decay that is present in certain elements that were present when the rock formed from melt.
Energy required to melt a solid into a liquid?
Energy is given off when cooling from a liquid to a solid. How much depends on the elements involved and the amount.
What conditions metamrphic rocks form?
the conditions are very high heat (hot enough to melt the rock), and/or very high pressure (to recombine the elements in the rock).
