What happens when temperature of a solid reaches its melting point?

Answer 1

When a substance reaches its freezing point or boiling point, it also undergoes a physical change from one phase to another, changing some of its physical properties.

Answer 2

When the temperature of a solid reaches its melting point, the solid begins to change phase and turns into a liquid. At this point, the particles of the solid gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position, allowing them to move around more freely as a liquid.

Answer 3

What happens is that the forces holding the atoms together to form a solid weaken and the atoms are free to move around and become a liquid. Keep heating and the bond holdings holding the atoms break and the compound becomes a gas.

Answer 4

It goes from being a solid to a liquid/gas

Answer 5

It changes from a solid (e.g: ice) to a liquid (e.g:water), or a gas.

Answer 6

The kinetic energy exceeds the intermolecular forces (Apex)

Answer 7

The solid changes into a liquid

Answer 8

It turns from a solid into a liquid

Answer 9

This solid become a liquid.

Answer 10

It freezes.
