When elements melt from solid to liquid, the particles brake off of their packed in, box-like pattern and start to flow freely bumping into and off of each other creating the liquid's indistinct shape and properties. Basically heating particles is like giving them energy allowing them to move faster and more freely until a beam-like state (6th state of matter) in the which particles are completely free and isolated from each other flying at very high speeds in the vast void of space.

How does what happens to the particles in a substance during melting differ from what happens during freezing?

When something is heated the particles inside it begin to move faster and faster and that causes the heat, when something is frozen the opposite occurs the particles inside it move slower and slower and probably stop moving all together


What happens to the melting particles?

When particles reach their melting point, they absorb enough energy to transition from a solid to a liquid state while maintaining their molecular structure. During melting, the particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and move further apart, which leads to the solid substance turning into a liquid.


What happens to the particles of a liquid?

it depends on wether you are freezing the liquid, or melting the liquid.


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 particles as the temperature of a solid increases?

Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.


What statement best describes particles during melting?

During melting, particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in place. This allows the particles to move more freely, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state without changing their chemical composition.


Heating a solid makes it melt terms of particles?

The particles are moving away from one another during melting.

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 processes do particles of matter absorb energy freezing and boili condensation and melting melting and vaporization or sublimation?

Particles of matter absorb energy during melting and vaporization processes, as these transitions involve the breaking of intermolecular forces that hold the particles together. During freezing and condensation processes, particles release energy as they form stronger bonds and lower their energy levels to create a more stable state.
