released. energy is taken from environment to weaken individual bonds between H2O molecules. When water moves from higher to lower ordered state, the air surroundint the H2O will have heat subtracted.

∙ 12y agoA solid melts by aquiring energy from its surrounding enviorment. So the environment loses energy but the melting solid gains it.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, energy is absorbed by the solid and that energy is used to raise the temperature of the solid, causing it to melt and turn into a liquid.

∙ 13y agoThe energy gained (absorbed) by the substance is what causes the melting.

What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?
Energy can either be soaked up by the matter in the process of making the change (melting), or be released from the matter during the change (fire).
Is freezing an example of an exothermic chemical change?
No because in an exothermic change energy is released not taken in. Melting would be an example of exothermic change.
Is melting point a periodic property?
A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.
What are the changes in the kinetic energy as a substance is heated to its melting point?
The kinetic energy increase.
Is butter melting in a pan a physical change that absorbs energy?
physical
Is energy released during melting?
No. When a substance melts it absorbs energy.
Why does uranium not yield energy when fused with something else?
Melting of metals is a process with heat absorbtion, not with heat releasing; and the nuclear forces cannot be released by melting.
Is energy absorbed or released when a solid melts a liquid vaporizes a gas condenses and a liquid melts?
Melting and boiling (vaporization) absorb energy, freezing and condensing release energy.
Is energy required for melting?
yes. It takes energy to raise the temperature of the solid to the melting point.
Does melting lose or gain energy?
Generally, melting is the process of turning from a solid to a liquid. It entails gaining energy.
What processes do particles of matter absorb energy freezing and boili condensation and melting melting and vaporization or sublimation?
Particles absorb energy when boiling (vapourising), melting and subliming. Particles release energy when freezing and condensing.
Why is energy required for the melting or boiling process?
Energy is required in the melting process because high is needed to melt something
What is basic difference between melting and fusion?
Melting point is the temperature at which something melts. Like ice has a melting point of 0 Celsius. The heat of fusion is the heat energy that is absorbed (or released) when a substance melts (or freezes) an is measured in energy units, either calories or joules. Ex. One gram of ice must absorb 80 calories of heat energy to change into liquid water.
Why does ice melting in your drink make your drink cooler?
Melting requires energy: the heat energy in your drink is used to melt the ice.
What requires more energy melting or boiling?
Melting requires energy input or absorption because liquid water has more energy than solid water.
What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?
Energy can either be soaked up by the matter in the process of making the change (melting), or be released from the matter during the change (fire).
When a liquid absorbs enough energy it becomes gas?
this is a description of melting - when a solid absorbs energy - that is, gets hot - and becomes liquid - that is, it melts
