Molten metal will solidify as its temperature decreases; that is, by cooling. Almost all metals are solid at room temperature. However, a metal like Mercury is normally a liquid, so changing mercury into a solid requires cooling to -40 degrees C.

Does solid metal 'float' on molten metal?

No, solid metal typically sinks in molten metal due to its higher density. When a solid metal is placed on top of molten metal, it will usually sink until it reaches a point where its density is equal to that of the molten metal around it.


What is molten ore?

Molten ore refers to metal in a liquid state, typically resulting from heating raw ore material to high temperatures. This molten form allows for easier extraction and processing of the metal from the ore.


How molten metal chages into a solid?

A metal is actually solid beforwe application of high heat,a metal becomes molten when the heat is high enough to enable breakage of bonds between molecules of the metal such that the molecules are free to move as in liqiud.so a molten metal becomes solid when molecules form bond again as in solid.


What is it when molten lava changes into solid rock?

Causes molten metal to change into a solid?

Molten metal changes into a solid through a process called solidification, where the metal cools down and its molecules arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. This happens when the metal's temperature drops below its melting point, causing it to solidify and form a solid mass.

What is made of solid and melted rock?

the outer core. the last answer was the inner core.. but im sorry to tell them that im doing this section in school currently and the OUTER core is made of molten metal. the inner is solid metal.


Is molten metal solidifies exothermic or endothermic?

The solidification of molten metal is an exothermic process. During this phase change, the metal releases heat as it transitions from a liquid to a solid state. This release of heat occurs because the molecules in the liquid metal lose energy and arrange themselves into a more stable solid structure.


Is mantle made of molten metal?

No, the mantle is not made of molten metal. It is a layer of solid rock that lies beneath the Earth's crust and above the core. The mantle is primarily composed of silicate minerals.


What is the core mostly made of molten metal or solid metal?

It is widely scientifically believed that the inner core (deepest part of Earth) is made of solid iron. However the inner core is surrounded by an outer core of iron and nickel that is believed to be molten material.
