The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
The process of going from a solid to a liquid is called melting. When heat is applied to a solid, such as ice, it turns into a liquid form, which is water.
The energy required to go from a solid to a liquid-Apex
Yes, a liquid can go straight to a solid through a process called freezing or solidification. This occurs when the temperature of the liquid drops below its freezing point, causing the molecules to lose energy and arrange themselves into a solid structure. Additionally, a process known as "deposition" can occur, where a gas transforms directly into a solid without passing through the liquid phase, but this does not apply to liquids.
Solid, because it goes through a longer process than the Liquid. Thus, the Liquid doesn't need as much energy as a solid.
The energy needed to go from a liquid to a gas is referred to as heat of vaporization.
gas to liquid = condensation liquid to solid = freezing the gas must go through a liquid state, Even if for a millisecond.
A solid has the most energy, it is the most tightly packed, then a liquid as the particles have more space, then a gas as the particles are free and there are less of them. Hope this helps. if you go to google images, you will also know what I mean
sublimation
There is no fixed speed for the transition of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase. The maximum speed this can happen at is the speed of light as this is how fast the energy can be transferred to a molecule, and there is no minimum speed. Some substances do not melt into a liquid. Instead they make the transition straight from solid phase into gas phase, and this is called sublimation.
