After heat energy is absorbed during melting the atoms and molecules start moving away from each other as the force of attraction becomes weak. At one point the atoms or molecules move so further away that the solid turns into 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

The particles are moving away from one another during melting.


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.
