When the liquid reaches its boiling point, it changes phase into a gas. The energy is being absorbed into breaking of the interparticular bonds. This is called the latent heat of vaporisation.

In a pot of water that is boiling, the water is all at 100 degrees, however, only the water on the surface, or at nucleation sites, is able to change state into a gas. The steam that the water is turning into, is also at 100 degrees.

Energy is lost which causes the molecules to slow down , solidify and crystallize. Energy is lost to the surroundings, but this loss can be measured using a calorimeter.

What happens to energy when ice melts to form liquid water?

The ice needs to absorb heat energy in order to melt. This energy is stored in the water as a type of potential energy (it requires a force, and therefore energy, to separate the water molecules). When the water freezes, this potential energy is returned once again.

What happens when a liquid transforms into solid form it freezes or it melts?

If a liquid changes into a solid it freezes. When you place an ice cube tray with liquid water into the freezer, it will turn into a solid we call ice. If you take that solid ice out of the freezer and leave it on the counter, it will melt into a liquid once again.

Why ice melts when heated?

Ice is frozen water, so when water gets cold, it freezes, and when ice gets warm, it goes back into its original form, water.
