When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.

What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shells?
It becomes a negative ion.
What does a solid do when you add heat to it?
When heat is added to a solid, its particles vibrate faster and the solid gains energy. This increased energy causes the solid to expand slightly as the particles move farther apart. If enough heat is added, the solid may reach its melting point and transition into a liquid state.
When a solid is heated up it turns into a liquid it?
When a solid is heated, it gains energy which causes its particles to vibrate faster. Eventually, this increased vibration overcomes the forces holding the particles in a fixed position, leading to the solid melting and turning into a liquid.
What must be added to a solid to cause it to melt?
Heat must be added to a solid to cause it to melt. As the temperature increases, the solid gains enough energy to overcome the forces holding its particles together, causing them to move more freely and transition into a liquid state.
What are the changes of evaporation condensation freezing and melting?
When a liquid evaporates it gains energy from heat and the particales begin moving faster and breaking free, turning into a gas. When a gas condenses it loses its energy because of lack of heat, the particales slow down and become a liquid again. When a liquid frreezes it loses even more heat from colder tempratures and the particales lose more energy and slow down so they may only vibrate, the liquid becomes a solid with particales tightly packed together. Melting happens when solid particales gains enough energy from heat to move slightly faster and over lap each other, turning them into a liquid. Different objects have different melting, boiling, condensing and freezing points. Hope this helped! :)
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When matter gains kinetic energy, its particles move faster and have more energy. This can cause an increase in temperature, expansion of the material, or a change in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas).
What does a solid become when a solid gains heat energy?
-- It could become just a warmer solid. -- If it gains enough heat energy, the solid could melt, becoming liquid. -- Depending on the ambient pressure, the solid could also sublime, becoming gas.
What happens to a solid when energy is removed?
What happens to a solid when energy is removed
What happens when an object gains thermal?
When an object gains thermal energy, its internal energy increases, causing its temperature to rise. This increase in thermal energy can cause the particles within the object to move faster and potentially change state (e.g., from solid to liquid).
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What happens when a solid a liquid and gas when it changes its state?
When a solid changes to a liquid, it melts and gains more kinetic energy. When a liquid changes to a gas, it evaporates and gains even more kinetic energy. When a solid changes directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state, it is known as sublimation.
What happens when surface water gains energy?
well, it gwets hot
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What happens when water gains more energy?
It starts to flow faster!
What happens to the energy level of solid water as it become liquid water?
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
What happens when an electron moves higher energy level?
It gains energy in a quantity amount or whatever it says
What happens when you add kinetic energy to a solid?
When you add kinetic energy to a solid the molecules won't move
