When elements melt from solid to liquid, the particles brake off of their packed in, box-like pattern and start to flow freely bumping into and off of each other creating the liquid's indistinct shape and properties. Basically heating particles is like giving them energy allowing them to move faster and more freely until a beam-like state (6th state of matter) in the which particles are completely free and isolated from each other flying at very high speeds in the vast void of space.

What happens to the motion of the particles in a block of ice at it finishes melting?
it turns into water
Heating a solid makes it melt terms of particles?
The particles are moving away from one another during melting.
What happens to salt particles when a ice cube is melting?
They stay right in the salt shaker where they are suppose to be.
What happens when the temperature stays the same in a melting curve?
During melting the temperature remain constant if it was achieved the melting point.
What happens to the motion of particles in a block of ice when its done melting?
They can flow around since they're not as tightly packed anymore.
What happens to particles melting?
its chngein 2 a liquid
What happens to water particles when melting?
its chngein 2 a liquid
How does what happens to the particles in a substance during melting differ from what happens during freezing?
When something is heated the particles inside it begin to move faster and faster and that causes the heat, when something is frozen the opposite occurs the particles inside it move slower and slower and probably stop moving all together
What happens to the particles of a liquid?
it depends on wether you are freezing the liquid, or melting the liquid.
What happens to the motion of the particles in a block of ice at it finishes melting?
it turns into water
During which processes do particles of matter absorb energy?
condensation and melting
Heating a solid makes it melt terms of particles?
The particles are moving away from one another during melting.
What happens to the particles as the temperature of a solid increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.

What happens to the particles of a crystalline solid as it is heated at its melting point?
The particles start to move randomly as the process of the liquid starts to form. So during the transformation the bond between the particles start to move. The particles begin to move randomly, and then the crystalline forms a liquid. The faster the particles move the more it transforms into a liquid.
What happens when the temperature stays the same in a melting curve?
During melting the temperature remain constant if it was achieved the melting point.
