Best Answer

When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.

if they are heated then they turn to a liquid, if that are a soled well they are hard like ice


When a solid is heated it?

When a solid is heated it expands and if is heated enough it will melt; it may also boil. If you cool it down it will go back to solid form.


What does heat cause?

Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.


What solid residue will turn from green to black if heated?

Iron(II) carbonate [green] to Iron(II) oxide.


What happens to the particles in a heated solid?

Well what happens to particles in a solid is they slowly vibrate and get further and further apart until they turn into a gas. I had exactly the same question for my homework Thank youNo. your saying that if you put say a pan on a stove it will suddenly turn into a gas?? don't think so pal!The real answer is the particles in a solid vibrate faster when heated this is why metal expands when heated, to accommodate for all of the moving particlesBut if you do heat it up enough, for certain materials, the particles will separate and turn into a gas, or in some cases turn into a liquid.


How is a liquid like a solid?

A liquid is like a solid because a liquid I usually a heated solid Ex. Water is heated ice


When a solid is heated to its melting point what happens?

The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.


Contrast the changes in a crystalline solid as it is heated to those in an amorphous solid that is heated?

crystalline gets hotter then amorphous


What happens to a solid when is heated?

A substance in the solid phase will typically expand when heated. Most substances when heated sufficiently will melt into a liquid, assuming that they do not combust or sublimate.


What are examples of solid turning into a gas?

Ice melting and evaporating.


What happens to the temperature of a solid at its melting point when heated?

The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.


Why does water change into a solid when it is heated?

It doesn't, water turns into steam, or a gas when heated. Water turns into a solid when cooled
