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.

What happens to most solids as they are heated?
They could reach their melting point and melt or they could char and react with the oxygen in the atmosphere. Some solids will ignite when heated.
Can all liquids become a solid?
Nope. There are some solids that go directly into the gas phase. Such a process is called sublimation. ans2 No. Some solids chemically decompose when heated. You can't get liquid wood. Some solids turn directly into a gas when heated at standard atmospheric pressure. An example of this is dry ice. I believe that some solids, do not ask me but this is a theory that I can't prove, but some solids have such a high melting point that if heated to its melting point the molicules will become so unstable that the solid would accualy blow up before the period of melting can occur. Although have fun trying to find something on earth that can reach that heat output. One example that comes to mind is diamond. I do not believe diamond has ever melted? Correct me if im wrong.
Explain how the trends in melting point and boiling point differ from the other periodic trends?
Instead of generally increasing or decreasing trend, melting and boiling points reach two different peaks as d and p orbitals fill. -Darryn
How can you determine the melting point of a substance based in its heating curve?
Heating curves (temp vs time) show the transition of a solid to a liquid to a gas. The solid begins to absorb heat, which is represented by a gradual increase in your curve starting from the origin. Eventually, the solid will reach the melting point, at which the temperature will cease to increase until it has fully transitioned to a liquid phase. Therefore, the melting point is the y-value correspondind to the first horizontal portion of the heating curve.
Which temperatue does silver need to become liquid?
Silver needs to reach a melting point of 961.8 degrees to become liquid. Jewellery made from silver has 92.5 percent and 7.5 percent copper. In the U.S 90 percent is used so sterling silver is market as 900 compared to 925 in the UK.
When solids reach their melting points they become?
as usual they become liquid
When you reach the temperature of what point you become a liquid.?
melting

What is the boiling point of a solid?
The definition of a boiling point is that temperature where a liquids turns to a gas. A solid would need to become liquid to discern it's boiling point.
When you reach the temperatures of the point you become a liquid?
melting point. :)
What melting point do you reach to become a liquid?
Each substance has a specific melting point (excepting cases of sublimation or thermal degradation).

What does a solid have to reach in order to become a liquid?
A solid becomes a liquid when it temperature has reached its Melting Point (also called it Point of Fusion.)
Explain how the trends in melting point and boiling point differ from the other periodic trends?

What must happen to a substance to reach it's melting point?
Increasing the temperature up to the melting point.
How does liquids turn into a solids?
To turn from a solid to a liquid it must reach it's melting point by heating up. Examples: ice to water, rocks to magma. Every thing melts at a different temperature.
Why do solids lack the property of fluidity?
The forces of attractions between molecules of a solid is very great. Hence, the molecules are very densely packed (ie, very close to each other). That is why they do not posses fluidity. In liquids and gases (fluids), the molecular attraction is much less, which allows them to flow.
