At its melting points the particles of a substance become looser and can move more freely. There is no order unlike a solids particles, however there isn't complete freedom to move everywhere unlike gases particles.
it decreases.
It is indeed possible for a substance to have a higher melting point than expected. This normally happens when the substance is impure.
By being heated up and turning into either a gas or a liquid.
by adding impurities the melting point of ice can be increased.... and perhaps can water melt i think the right question suppose to be how can the melting point of ice be changed?
All substances experience attraction between their particles. These vary in type and strength. If there were no forces they would never form liquids or solids. You could say that the strongest bonds are in the substances with the highest melting points.
The stronger the forces the stronger the attraction between the molecules in the substance. This will tend to increase the temperature of phase changes, melting and boiling points.
the strength of attraction is proportional to 1/d 3, where d is the distance between dipole
when we heat a substance its kinetic energy increases and due to this kinetic energy the force of attraction decreases and can no longer hold the particles together.
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.
The melting or the boiling point.

When a substance is melting, there is equilibrium between the solid and liquid state, meaning it is both a solid and a liquid.
physical. melting does not change the substance; it only changes the state of matter (or the movement of particles).
NaI has ions and has strong electrostatic force of attraction, hence high melting point. Naphthalene has weak van der Waals forces of attraction between the molecules and hence have low melting point.
Melting occurs when a substance absorbs heat energy. The rigid crystal structure of the particles breaks down, and the particles are free to flow around one another.
it decreases.
