Heat affects the properties by speeding up the particles and providng them with more energy. As they heated the bounce off one another and expand the solid. When it's cold, The particles have less energy and don't move as much, This results in contraction and the solid shrinks.

Basically, Heat ---> expansion

Cooling -----> contraction

What happens to the temperature of a solid at its melting point when heated?

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.


When solid heated temperature increase is it boiling?

No, when a solid is heated and its temperature increases, it is not boiling. Boiling specifically refers to the phase transition of a liquid turning into a gas at its boiling point. As a solid is heated, it will eventually reach its melting point, where it transitions from solid to liquid, and only then, if heated further, can it reach boiling.


What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?

When a solid is heated without melting, its particles vibrate more rapidly due to increased thermal energy. This causes the solid to expand slightly and its temperature to rise. If the heating continues, the solid will eventually reach its melting point and transition into a liquid state.


What change occurs if solid metal is heated to a very temperature?

When solid metal is heated to a very high temperature, it will undergo a phase change and melt into a liquid state. This is because the high temperature causes the atoms in the metal to vibrate more vigorously, eventually breaking the bonds that hold them in a solid structure.


Is comphor a solid liquid or gas?

It is very interesting to know that camphor is solid at room temperature. However if it is heated even slightly, it changes into gaseous state.

Is silver liquid solid or gas at room temperature?

Silver would be a solid at room temperature. This is also what happens with gold. If both were heated, then they would be liquids.


What happens when a solid is heated and its temperutre rises?

When a solid is heated and its temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the particles in the solid increases. This causes the particles to vibrate more vigorously and further apart, leading to expansion of the solid. Eventually, the solid may reach its melting point and transition into a liquid state.

Melts into a liquid.

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 happens when carbon solid is heated?

Carbon burn in air.


What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?

When a solid is heated but not melted or burned, the particles within the solid start vibrating more rapidly due to the increase in temperature. This increased vibration increases the kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move around more within their fixed positions in the solid's structure.


When solid is heated and melts into a liquid what happens to its molecules?

they get farther apart.
