A metal is actually solid beforwe application of high heat,a metal becomes molten when the heat is high enough to enable breakage of bonds between molecules of the metal such that the molecules are free to move as in liqiud.so a molten metal becomes solid when molecules form bond again as in solid.

What is molten ore?
When purified solid metal is heated under very high temperature it changes to liquid metal .This liquid metal is called molten metal .
Does solid metal 'float' on molten metal?
No. The solid state of a metal is more dense than its liquid state, so it sinks.
What word describes how molten metal changes into a solid?
Solidify...?
What is a word for metal scum that begins with dr?
Dross - solid metal scum or debris floating on molten metal
Does the earth's inner core consist of molten metal?
No. It is a solid metallic alloy.
What happens to a liquid to a solid?
nothing happens after a solid chages into a liquid.
What is made of solid and melted rock?
the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.
What happens when a solid changes to a liquid?
nothing happens after a solid chages into a liquid.
Is the inner core made of molten metal?
No. The inner core is composed of solid metal, mostly an iron-nickel alloy.
Earth's solid inner layer is surrounded by the hot molten metal of which layer?
outer core
What is the core mostly made of molten metal or solid metal?
It is widely scientifically believed that the inner core (deepest part of Earth) is made of solid iron. However the inner core is surrounded by an outer core of iron and nickel that is believed to be molten material.
What causes molten metal to become solid?
Every metal has it's own melting point where that metal is converted from solid to liquid...so as the temperature decreases the molecules in the metal loses energy and collides more slowly...and starting to collide within a fixed area...therefore the metal slowly converts to solid.
