How do the particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?

They move faster.


Define latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vapourisation?

Latent heat of vapourisation can be define as the rate by which water is heat to vapourise, it has a difference with evaporation because evaporation occurs directly when the water start heatin while vapourisation always start in a specific temperature


What happens to matter when gains enough heat to change from a solid to a liquid?

When matter gains enough heat to change from a solid to a liquid, the solid absorbs the heat energy and its particles start vibrating faster. This increased movement breaks their fixed positions, causing the solid to melt and turn into a liquid. The temperature at which this occurs is known as the melting point.


What happens when a object gains thermal energy?

When an object gains thermal energy, its molecules start to move faster, leading to an increase in temperature. This increase in temperature can cause the object to expand, change phase (from solid to liquid, for example), or even break down if the thermal energy input is too high.


What do you call this when a solid is heated and turns into a liquid?

melting. Yep, it sure is melting. But also, when a solid becomes a liquid, it basically is heat being applied to the solid, and causing the molecules of the solid to move around, and when the molecules move around, it is not called a solid anymore, but called a liquid, because the molecules are not compact. :D -Dain

What is a temperature at which solids start to change from a liquid?

The temperature at which a solid starts to change into a liquid is called the melting point. At this point, the solid absorbs enough heat energy to overcome its intermolecular forces and transitions into a liquid state.


What does a solid heat up to become?

liquid - depending on what the solid was to start with


How can pressure change a liquid into a solid?

Liquid changes to gas when pressure is reduced and temperature is increased. When pressure on liquid is reduced, the inter molecular space increases and temperature increases the kinetic energy of the atoms. This changes liquid to gaseous state


How does solid state change into liquid state?

A liquid changes into a solid state when its particles start losing energy. This is usually due to a decrease in temperature because if there is less heat energy present, there is less kinetic energy produced in the particles. As the particles of the liquid continue to slow down its vibration speed, it becomes a solid. The word for this is known as freezing and the best example for it is the change of state from water (liquid) to ice (solid).


How can liquid water change into a solid state and into a gas state?

A liquid changes into a solid state when its particles start losing energy. This is usually due to a decrease in temperature because if there is less heat energy present, there is less kinetic energy produced in the particles. As the particles of the liquid continue to slow down its vibration speed, it becomes a solid. The word for this is known as freezing and the best example for it is the change of state from water (liquid) to ice (solid).


What is the physical state of a substance whose melting point is below the room temperature?

A substance with a melting point below room temperature would typically be in a solid state at room temperature. However, it may start to melt or become a liquid as the temperature increases.


What is the state of matter of mercury at freezing temperature?

At mercury's own freezing temperature, the mercury can be either solid or liquid; that is the definition of "freezing temperature".


Why does liquid turn into a solid when it's cooled?

The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.


Does the temperature rise when the ice is melting?

Assuming you put a bowl of ice cubes into the fridge (which is well isolated, but the temperatue is above freezing level). The ice will begin to melt. Even if you turn the fridge off, the temperature in the fridge will drop as the ice takes up energy from the surrounding air to liquify. The answer is: Yes.


Is Liquid wax turned solid a chemical change?

Yes becasue when the atoms inside the wax start to change, they all form and become a solid. this is what is now called replacement.


How do the particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?

Describe how particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?

Particles do not change when they change state from solid to liquid form. However, they will change behavior because they are completely still when they are solid and move faster when a liquid.
