When energy is added to matter what happens to the mollecules and atoms?

As energy is added to a solid, the subatomic structure moves more rapidly. If the movement is rapid enough, the structure changes phase to a liquid and allows for more space for the atoms to move even more quickly. At a critical velocity the structure breaks down completely and allows the atoms to escape as a gas.
