Heating a solid makes it melt terms of particles?
The particles are moving away from one another during melting.
What happens when a solid melts to become a liquid?
When a solid melts, atoms are released from their crystal lattice and can move freely within the volume of the liquid. The thermal energy from heating the solid has been converted to kinetic energy.
Adding energy or increasing the speed of the particles at very low pressure in a solid would cause?
to either melt of explode
Is heat added or released during freezing?
This is latent heat. When a liquid freezes heat is released, and when it melts the same amount of energy must be supplied. Similarly when a liquid changes to a vapor, or when a vapor condenses, heat must be supplied or is released. Latent heat varies from one substance to another, and can be quantified as so many calories per gram or kilogram, you can find data in reference tables
What is required on order to melt a network solid?
Breaking covalent bonds throughout the solid would be required to melt a network solid.
How do you turn a liquid into a solid?
You freeze the substance! (You remove energy from the system.)
What might cause solid rock in the Earth's interior to melt and begin to flow?
The mantle cause the mantle to flow.
What is the energy required to melt a solid at its melting point?
heat of fusion
What is the energy required to melt a solid into a liquid called?
Heat of fusion.
How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How does thermal energy of solid water change as its melting?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
Why is heat energy needed to melt a solid. What is this heat energy called?
the energy that goes into changing a substance from a solid to a liquid (melting) is called the latent heat of fusion.
Why is heat energy needed to melt a solid what is this heat energy called?
This energy is the enthalpy of fusion (or latent heat of fusion).
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 must be absorbed for a solid to melt?
They must gather close together until they can't bunch anymore and then they start to melt because they ran out of space.
