Best Answer

Cake batter turns solid when baked for several reasons. Moisture turns into steam and evaporates, and eggs become solid as their protein molecules bind together in reaction to heat. Sugar also melts and binds with flour which also undergoes molecular changes. The result is liquid batter turns into light but solid cake.

What happens to the particles in a heated solid?

Well what happens to particles in a solid is they slowly vibrate and get further and further apart until they turn into a gas. I had exactly the same question for my homework Thank youNo. your saying that if you put say a pan on a stove it will suddenly turn into a gas?? don't think so pal!The real answer is the particles in a solid vibrate faster when heated this is why metal expands when heated, to accommodate for all of the moving particlesBut if you do heat it up enough, for certain materials, the particles will separate and turn into a gas, or in some cases turn into a liquid.

What happens to the particles of a solid when it is heated and melted?

The particles in a solid start to move faster and faster as they are heated. Eventually they may move fast and freely enough to reach the liquid state, and if they continue to be heated, the particles could obtain enough energy to leave the liquid state and go into the gaseous state.
