What happens when temperature of a solid reaches its melting point?
Wiki User

When a substance reaches its freezing point or boiling point, it also undergoes a physical change from one phase to another, changing some of its physical properties.

Melting point is the temperature when a changes to a?
Melting point is the temperature at which a solid substance changes to a liquid state. It is sometimes also called the liquefaction point.
What is the temperature at a solid becomes a liquid?
It depends on the element, but the general name is freezing point.
What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?
It heats up, until it reaches the melting point or sublimation point of the solid.
What happens when the temperature of a solid reaches is melting point?

What is the melting point of lead azide?
Lead azide's melting point is 350 C. It would also explode when it reaches this temperature.
What happens when the temperature stays the same in a melting curve?
During melting the temperature remain constant if it was achieved the melting point.
If a substance is not at its melting or boiling point as the heat content of a sample of matter increases what happens?
As the heat content increases, the temperature of the substance will rise. However, if the substance is not at its melting or boiling point, it will not undergo a phase change. Instead, its temperature will continue to increase until it reaches its melting or boiling point, at which point a phase change will occur.
Why doesnt sucrose have a boiling listed?
Sucrose will decompose (detoriate) when heated up at a temperature before it reaches melting point temperature.
How hot does sand get?
Sand can get as hot as 3110 degrees Fahrenheit. When sand reaches that temperature, it is officially at its melting point.
What Physical Property of water changes when it reaches its melting point?
Its physical state. When it reaches its melting point, it will change from a solid to a liquid.
Why does the temperature become constant at the point of melting till the whole substance of a solid melted?
That happens because any heat that is added to that melting material will be used to cause further melting, until there is nothing left to melt, at which point the added heat can raise the temperature. A solid melts at its melting point; it does not get hotter than the melting point without melting, that's why it is the melting point.
What is a sentence for melting point?

What change of state occurs when a substance reaches it's melting point. What occurs when it reaches it's boiling point?
When a substance reaches its melting point it changes from solid to liquid. When a substance reaches its boiling point it changes from liquid to gas.
