When you heat a sample of a solid, the particles gain kinetic energy and begin to vibrate more vigorously. As the temperature increases, these vibrations can become strong enough to overcome the forces holding the particles in their fixed positions. This can eventually lead to a phase change, such as melting, where the solid transitions into a liquid state.

What happens to the particles that make up a solid if enough heat is added to melt it?

When enough heat is added to a solid, the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. As a result, the particles move more freely and the solid melts into a liquid.


What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?

The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.


What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?

The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster


Do you need to add or subtract heat make a solid into gas?

Add heat.


The particles that make up a sample of matter all have what?

Matter is formed from atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.

What happens when heat meets a solid?

When heat is applied to a solid, the temperature of the solid increases, causing the particles within the solid to gain energy and vibrate more rapidly. Eventually, the solid may reach its melting point and transition into a liquid state.

What can make solid into a liquid?

Heat will cause a solid to melt into a liquid.


Heat is what in motion?

As energy is added to a substance, the particles that make up the substance vibrate faster. This is what causes substances to change state (solid to liquid to gas). As the particles move faster, the structure changes.


What effect does adding heat have on particles?

Heat makes the particles more spaced out and make it move everywhere


Which is true about particles that make up solid matter?

The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.


How does conduction worrk?

Conduction can only occur in solids. Good conductors are metal, for example. In conduction, there is a heat source. The heat will heat up one part of the solid. As a result, the particles vibrate voilently. Then, the vibrating particles will make particles next to them vibrate and so on...


What is the effect of adding heat to the partials in a sample of matter?

Adding heat to a sample of matter increases the kinetic energy of its particles, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This increased movement can lead to changes in the physical state of the matter, such as melting or vaporization, depending on the amount of heat added.


Why a solid melts when it is heated?

When you heat up a solid, because heat is a form of energy, it gives kinetic eergy to the particles which make up the solid. The particles which make up a solid are densely packed and the kinetic energy makes them move around and this means thay break apart and this is what a liquid is unless its heated so much that the particles are so far apart that it is a gas. Sorry for the bad explanation


What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?

The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster


How can you make solid into a liquid?

heat it up!
