the particles themselves don't "melt", they simply spread out and move around more, forming the liquid state.

What does it mean when there is physical change?
A physical change is one where no new substance is produced. Melting is an example of a physical change. When you melt iron, you get liquid iron, it's still the same chemical substance. If you melt copper, you get liquid copper, not liquid iron.
What are two ways mass can change?
melt to a liquid and evaporate as a gas
How do the particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?
They move faster.
When an object cools its particles lose energy and as the space between particles decreases the object does what?
State Changes If you give the particles energy; or take energy away from them; then you can change their state. If you heat up a solid - you give it some energy. This causes the particles to move more and the solid to change into a liquid, or melt. If the liquid is heated then it may evaporate and turn into a gas.
How do you change solid water to liquid and liquid water to gas?
You can change both of these by increasing or decreasing the speed of the molecules (kinetic energy), or by increasing or decreasing the heat applied (thermal energy). If you want to melt ice, you can increase the kinetic energy by increasing the thermal energy. The opposite occurs if you want to freeze water.
When ice melt the particles of ice change into other type of particles?
When a solid is heated its particles melts and change into liquid
When a solid is heated its particles melt and change into a liquid?
This physical change is called melting.
How does ice melt and what usually causes it?
Ice melts because of heat, when it is heated, the particles start vibrating and slowly turns into its liquid state - water
Which liquid melts an ice cube?
Any hot liquid melt ice.
Molecularly how does ice melt?
Molecularly, ice melts when the molecule particles disintegrate and move away from each other. This will cause the ice block to become liquid.
Can a solid change states?
yes a solid can hange states, ice can melt (liquid) and dry ice (solid) 'melts' into a gas
How does the thermal energy of solid water change as its melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How the thermal energy of solid water change as it melts?
The thermal energy of the water increases as it melts, changing from a solid (ice) to liquid water. For a solid to melt, it is necessary for it to absorb energy from its surroundings.
How does an ice cube melt?
Ice melts when it is above 0oc. It is caused because the particles in ice are rigid in a Crystal shape. When the temperature increases the particels start to move around breaking out of the Crystal shape Turing into a liquid.
What happens to water particles when they melt?
its chngein 2 a liquid
When the metal gallium melts is the liquid forms an allotrope explain?
No, it changes from a solid state to a liquid one. It can literally melt in your hand.
Can you melt powders into liquids?
Definitely. Powders are simply solids broken into smaller particles. As we know, melting is the phase change from the solid state to the liquid state. Thus, we can definitely melt powders.
