What happens to the temperature of a solid at its melting point when heated?
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?
It heats up, until it reaches the melting point or sublimation point of the solid.
What happens to the melting point of the solid when heated?
force of vibration over come the binding
What is a list of the characteristics of a crystalline solid?
when a crystalline solid such as snow is heated its melts at a destined characteristic melting point
What is the difference between an amorphous and crystalline solid when heated?
An amorphous solid softens over a temperature range, but a crystalline solid has a sharp melting point.
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
When can water become gas and a solid?
If heated above boiling point become gas! (100celcius) If freezed below melting point become solid (0 celcius)
Why does the temperature become constant at the point of melting till the whole substance of a solid melted?
That happens because any heat that is added to that melting material will be used to cause further melting, until there is nothing left to melt, at which point the added heat can raise the temperature. A solid melts at its melting point; it does not get hotter than the melting point without melting, that's why it is the melting point.
What happens to the particles as the temperature of a solid increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the temperature increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
How does a contaminant affect the melting point of a solid?
A contaminant reduces the melting point of a solid.
When solids reach their melting points they become what?
It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.
