What temperature melts a solid?
The temperature at which intermolecular forces push the molecules apart
What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules
What happens to molecules in a solid when heat is applied?
the molecules vibrate more rapidly and the solid expands a little the temperatuer also transfers faster through the solid
Would a compound made of molecules that melts at 77.7 degrees is a solid or a gas at room temperature?
Liquid.
What happens as a solid changes to a gas what increases?
The movement of the molecules making up the solid increases.
When solid is heated and melts into a liquid what happens to its molecules?
they get farther apart.
What happens to water molecules as ice melts?
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
What happens on a molcular level when a substance melts?
Its molecules starts vibrating more than when they were solid. Their kinetic energy are greater.
What happens when a solid and a lquid melts?
A solid melts when heated. aaliquid becomes more fluid or evaporates
What happens when heat is added to a solid?
It melts into a solid.
What happens when solid is heated?
Melts into a liquid.
What happens to the energy as a liquid melts?
The solid absorbs energy from the surroundings, causing the molecules to move around and no longer be in a tight structure (solid) but moving around fairly easy (liquid).
What happens to the molecules in a liquid when it melts?
When a solid melts, intermolecular forces that were holding the molecules tightly together are overcome by the kinetic energy introduced by heating the substance. All of the molecules are still present; they are just more widely dispersed and can move more freely, causing the fluid properties of liquids.
What happens when solid ice melts?
It becomes water.
What happens to the thermal energy when a solid melts?
Nothing.
What happens to the mass of a solid when it melts?
become liquid
What happens when a solid is warmed?
Warm it enough and it melts.
