CLARIFYING
The process is called Sublimation.
Solids to Liquids (Melting) Liquids turning back into a Solid (Freezing) ((SCF))
The change of state from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
Yes. the process is called melting
Ionic solids are characterized by high melting points.
Amorphous solids have no definite melting point because their particles are arranged randomly. Amorphous solids do not have crystal form or definite melting point.
melting
in crystalline solids, the atoms are arranged in an ordered fashion and hence they have sharp melting points. amorphous solids, due to random arrangement of the atoms do not have sharp melting points.
they must have strong network structures
Butter does not have a definite melting point because it is an example of an amorphous solids, and amorphous solids have non uniform attractive forces between the particles. Therefore the particles of the butter will not all melt together but rather the melting will happen gradually. Having a mixture of particles where some areas are going to have strong forces of bonds and other weak forces of bonds. The weak forces will over come first and later the strong forces will overcome, and that is how butter melts.
Yes, as all the fat solids are separated from the butter No, the "milk solids" not fat solids are removed. All the fat stays after clarifying.
