When a liquid changes to the solid state, the molecules slow down so that they only vibrate in place and can no longer flow like a liquid.

What happens to snow molecules during phase change?
The snow (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase.
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 when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?
Well solid to liquid the heat speeds up the molecules and same for liquid to gas but from liquid to solid the coolant slows the molecules down
What happens as a solid begins to change to a liquid?
The internal energy of the item increases, and the molecules become less ordered.
When a solid dissolves in a liquid it seems to disappear into it. how is it possible?
The solid separates down to the molecular level - and they mix with the water molecules. We cannot see molecules with the naked eye !
What happens to molecules when they change from one state of matter to another?
the denseness of the molecules change(compact=solid, really far=gas, in the middle=liquid)
What happens to snow molecules during phase change?
The snow (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase.
What happens when a substance changes state from a solid or liquid?
This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing.This change in the state of matter (solid to liquid) is called melting.They are physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.

When solid is heated and melts into a liquid what happens to its molecules?
they get farther apart.

They start to get closer together
