Nothing happens to the molecules. They're just warmer and moving around faster.

What happens to the molecules of a solid such as a sugar cube when it dissolves water?
The sugar molecules dissipate throughout the water - mixing with the water molecules.
What happens to water molecules as ice melts?
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
What happens to the hydrogen bonds when water is melted?
Nothing. Hydrogen bonds are very strong. When ice is melted, only weak intermolecular forces of attraction that exist between H2O molecules will be broken.
When ice melts what happens to the molecules?
They start to break their bonds of the solid. Water is unique and when it transforms from liquid to solid, it traps air between its molicules. When ice turns to water, it lets that air out so shrinks slightly. The result is at a higher temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, water is formed.
What happens when you boil seawater?
The water molecules evaporate and leave the salts and impurities behind as a solid.
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 the molecules of a substance when it is melted?
the molecules vibrate, faster and faster as the heat increases then they become disordered
What happens to molecules at 0K?
Molecules at zero will not be gas anymore. Molecules will then become a solid.
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?
Thermal expansion occured.
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
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 the molecules of a substance as it moves from a liquid to a solid?
use your book
What happens to particles when solid dissolves?
they separate into either molecules or ions.
What happens when you add kinetic energy to a solid?
When you add kinetic energy to a solid the molecules won't move
What happens to the molecules of a solid such as a sugar cube when it dissolves water?
The sugar molecules dissipate throughout the water - mixing with the water molecules.
What happens to the heat energy which is supplied to the solid once it has started melting?
During the phase change of a solid to a liquid (melting), all of the energy goes into breaking the intermolecular bonds holding the molecules of the solid together, and none of the energy goes into changing the temperature. Thus, during this particular phase of melting, the temperature of the system does NOT change.
