What occurs when a liquid becomes a solid?

This physical phenomenon (a change of phase) is called melting; during melting the chemical nature of molecules is not changed but the bonds between molecules are weakened.


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.


What happens to the mass when a physical change happens?

During a physical change, such as melting or boiling, the mass remains constant. The atoms and molecules rearrange themselves, but none are added or lost, so the total mass remains unchanged.


Which is a substance turns from solid to liquid?

What happens to snow molecules during phase change?

During a phase change from solid snow to liquid water, the snow molecules absorb heat energy and gain enough kinetic energy to break their bonds and transition into liquid form. This process is called melting.


What happens to the atom or molecules of a substance if it melts?

Nothing. Melting is a physical change and does not alter the chemical composition of a substance.


What happens to particles when heat energy is absorbed during melting?

After heat energy is absorbed during melting the atoms and molecules start moving away from each other as the force of attraction becomes weak. At one point the atoms or molecules move so further away that the solid turns into a liquid.


What happens to the potential of the molecules in a reaction?

the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.


What happens to compounds at molecular level when melted?

When a compound melts, the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together weaken, allowing the molecules to move past each other and flow freely. The molecules do not break apart or undergo any chemical changes during melting.


What is a substance called when it change from solid to liquid?

This physical phenomenon (a change of phase) is called melting; during melting the chemical nature of molecules is not changed.


When a substance is raised to its melting teperature what happens to the atom or molecules?

The inter-molecular bonds between the atoms/molecules are broken, releasing the atoms/molecules from a ridged structure to a freely moving mass.


What happens to neon during melting point?
