Melting occurs when a substance absorbs heat energy. The rigid crystal structure of the particles breaks down, and the particles are free to flow around one another.

What does heat allow melting to occur?

Because melting occur at high temperature; at this temperature bonds between particles are weaker.

Melting occur at the melting point. The solid is transformed in a liquid.


When does the melting point occur?

Melting occur when a solid starts to be a liquid.


Can melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water?

Yes, melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water, which is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water transitions between its solid (ice) and liquid forms without changing its temperature.


What will freeze first. salt or sugar?

The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of sugar is 186 0C (over this temperature thermal degradation occur).


Relation between melting temperature and sintering temperature?

The idea of sintering is heating a powder until it is hot enough to stick to itself, then reshaping it and letting it set. The temperature used is always lower than the melting point of the material.


What are the similarities for freezing and melting?

Both freezing and melting involve a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid or liquid to solid, respectively. The temperature at which freezing and melting occur is the same for a given substance, known as the freezing/melting point. During both processes, energy in the form of heat is either released (freezing) or absorbed (melting).


When a material is melting the temperature?

When a material is melting, the temperature is likely to be increasing. That or the temperature is just above the material's melting/freezing point.
