What happens when heat hits a solid?
The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.
Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?
Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. During sublimation the solid gains energy to turn into a solid.
Is there a release or absorption at heat in phase change?
It depends on the phase change. When going from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (boiling), or solid to gas (sublimation) heat is absorbed. When going from gas to liquid (condensation), liquid to solid (freezing), and gas to solid (deposition) heat is released.
In which state have the particles absorbed the most heat?
Particles have absorbed the most heat energy in the gas state.
What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)
What is another word for liquefies?
Makes or becomes fluid. A fuid runs or spreads quickly. It takes the shape of the container it is in. Matter can be in gaseous, liquid or solid form. Liquefying changes one form of matter into the liquid form. Often, it is the result of dissolving, or of melting by heat.

What cause a substance to melt?
any heat or hotness that is by it well make it melt
What are molecules that are joined in an ordered structure?
When molecules are linked in organized positions has solid results. When heat is absorbed by a solid the molecules vibrate faster and faster.
When a solid melts does it absorb or give off heat?
A solid will absorb heat. Looking at an ice pack, as the ice inside melts the heat from surrounding areas is removed to melt the ice. The reason ice feels cold to the skin is that it is absorbing heat from your skin -- which is what feels cold.The heat is absorbed and goes to breaking the intermolecular attractive forces that hold the solid together. In a liquid, the intermolecular forces are greatly reduced, which is why it is fluid rather than solid. To boil a liquid, and turn it to gas, additional heat must be absorbed.
When wax freezes does it release energy?
Released. It is called the Heat of Fusion. It is absorbed when turning from solid to liquid, and released when turning from liquid to solid.
What can be absorbed and released as the result of a chemical reaction?
Energy in the form of heat.
When solid sodium hydroxide is added to water the solution gets hot is this endothermic or exothermic?
The hotness of water proves heat is absorbed by water so the process is exothermic which releases the heat and is absorbed by water.
What do you call the change in state of matter from a liquid to a gas?
Condensation
Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?
Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. During sublimation the solid gains energy to turn into a solid.
What form of energy is released or absorbed in most chemical reactions?
Heat energy.
