Do elements melt?

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.


Which term is defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state?
