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.


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 solid is heated?

Melts into a liquid.


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.

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 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.
