Breaking covalent bonds throughout the solid would be required to melt a network solid.
by breaking covalent bonds
liquids dont melt A liquid has already melted from its solid state. I imagine the less dense the liquid is when in a solid state, the quicker it would melt to a liquid state.
mesons don't melt
When a substance is below the triple point, the equilibrium will be between solid and vapor rather than solid/liquid or liquid/vapor. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to vapor without any intermediate phase change. The latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a given quantity of solid into the vapor at equilibrium. It is analogous to (but not the same as) latent heat of melting (energy required to melt the solid to liquid) and latent heat of vaporization (energy required to change a liquid into a gas).
To melt solid I2, one must overcome the covalent bonds holding the molecules together.
The amount of heat released / absorbed from a substance at constant temperature as you change state from liquid->solid / solid->liquid.
breaking covalent bonds
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
heat of fusion
Heat of fusion.
you melt it...
If you are a solid, you melt. If you are a liquid, like water, you vaporize.
Energy is given off when cooling from a liquid to a solid. How much depends on the elements involved and the amount.
Depending on the solid you could melt it or bash it then melt it or cut it up. But it depends on the solid, mostly if its food you can just melt it. xxxx
If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.
The energy required to sublime (solid to gas) a substance at 1 ATM pressure is greater than the energy required to melt (solid to liquid) a substance. When you compare the energies in varying pressures, however, this trend is not always the case. If you Google any 'general phase diagram', you can see that under the triple point, when all phases are in equilibrium, have solid and gas meeting under a certain pressure. In a vacuum, it would require less energy to sublime than to melt.
The scientific meaning for melt is when, a solid is turned into a liquid by melting the solid.
