What happens to its molecule when liquid wax solidifies after cooling?
Well the heat transferred to the wax and the wax turned into liquid. So what the wax is doing is melting and if heat stop hitting the wax then it will freeze back again and turn into a solid and its particles start moving faster and bump into each other. When wax melts , the wax changes phase from a solid to a liquid and somehow the wax's liquid will turn back into a solid when it freezes. And when a wax melts it turns into water or something like that. Hope that helped all of you guys ur welcome
