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 else can I help you with?
When solid is heated and melts into a liquid what happens to its molecules?
they get farther apart.
What happens when something melts?
When something melts it turns into a liquid
What happens when solid is heated?
Melts into a liquid.
When ice melts what happens to its chemical composition?
When ice melts, the chemical composition remains the same. Ice is just the solid state of water, so when it melts, it turns into liquid water. The molecules in ice rearrange themselves into a more disordered state to become liquid water, but the chemical makeup of the water molecules themselves does not change.
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 ice when you heat?
It melts and turns into liquid
What happens to iron when it melts?
Iron become a liquid.
What happens to water molecules as ice melts?
As ice melts, the water molecules gain enough energy to break the hydrogen bonds holding them in a rigid structure. This causes the water molecules to move more freely and assume a more fluid arrangement, transitioning from a solid state to a liquid state.
What happens to the ice molecules when it melted?
When ice melts, the ice molecules gain energy from their surroundings and their bonds weaken. This causes the molecules to vibrate more and move further apart, transitioning from a solid state to a liquid state.
What happens to water when it changes back from ice into a liquid?
It melts
What happens when cold metal meets hot liquid?
it melts.
What happens when 100gram's of ice melts?
you will have 100g of liquid water!
