A solid melts when it absorbs enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding its particles in a fixed position. As the temperature rises, the particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more vigorously until they can break free from their rigid structure. This transition from solid to liquid occurs at a specific temperature known as the melting point.
