I'm assuming you are talking about sub-atomic particles.

The act of melting cannot be applied to particles because melting refers to a change of state of a substance. Substances, whether they be compounds or elemental, are a collection of atoms. These atoms, can be of 3 different states, depending on their temperature. If below the particular substance's melting point, it is solid. Between the melting and boiling point, the substance is liquid, and above the boiling point, the substance is gaseous. The state of the substance refers to the total amount of energy within the substance. Heat is energy, and melting a substance is only adding energy to it. the substance, on a molecular level, does not change when melting occurs.

Therefore, melting a particle cannot occur, only energy can be added, which increases movement of the particles.

Which radioactive element does not melt?

The melting points of elements 104 to 118 are not firmly established but they are all solid at room temperature and so it is assumed that they melt at some temperature.Helium and carbon do not melt. Helium is not radioactive but carbon does have isotopes: C-13 and C-14 which are radioactive.


How the composition of the melted material in magma changes as it cools. how is the partial melting the opposite of fractional crystallization?

As magma cools, the composition of the solidifying minerals changes due to the crystallization of different minerals at varying temperatures, leading to a more silica-rich residual melt. Partial melting occurs when specific minerals in the rock melt at lower temperatures, producing a melt with a different composition than the original rock. In contrast, fractional crystallization involves the sequential crystallization of minerals from a melt, resulting in a solid that is compositionally different from the remaining liquid. While partial melting creates a melt enriched in certain elements, fractional crystallization depletes the melt of those same elements as they are incorporated into the forming crystals.
