When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.

What happens to particles in a solid when they are heated or cooled?

When a solid is heated, the particles gain energy, leading to increased movement and vibration. This causes the particles to expand, leading to an increase in volume. Conversely, when a solid is cooled, the particles lose energy, resulting in decreased movement and contraction, which decreases the volume of the solid.


What does sulfur turn into?

Sulfur can exist in various forms depending on the conditions. At room temperature, sulfur is a solid yellow crystal, which can melt into a red liquid when heated and eventually turn into a colorless gas when further heated.


What happens to soilds when they are heated?

When solids are heated, their particles absorb energy and vibrate more vigorously, causing the solid to expand. This increase in kinetic energy can lead to the solid eventually melting into a liquid, as the particles break free from their fixed positions.


When a solid is heated it?

When a solid is heated it expands and if is heated enough it will melt; it may also boil. If you cool it down it will go back to solid form.


What does heat cause?

Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.


What happens to the particles in a heated solid?

Well what happens to particles in a solid is they slowly vibrate and get further and further apart until they turn into a gas. I had exactly the same question for my homework Thank youNo. your saying that if you put say a pan on a stove it will suddenly turn into a gas?? don't think so pal!The real answer is the particles in a solid vibrate faster when heated this is why metal expands when heated, to accommodate for all of the moving particlesBut if you do heat it up enough, for certain materials, the particles will separate and turn into a gas, or in some cases turn into a liquid.

When a solid is heated to its melting point what happens?

The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.


What happens to a solid when is heated?

A substance in the solid phase will typically expand when heated. Most substances when heated sufficiently will melt into a liquid, assuming that they do not combust or sublimate.


What yellow solid heated in no air turns black?

Sulfur is a yellow solid that, when heated in the absence of air, sublimes into a black solid as it undergoes a phase change from solid to gas.
