Heat is a form of energy, and the transfer of heat to an object increases the thermal energy of the atoms of the object. Essentially this energy may be viewed as atomic vibration. The warmer an object is, the faster its molecules vibrate. In a liquid, for example, the absorption of heat results in an increase in motion of the molecules in the liquid as a result of the energy. Typically this means a change in physical properties such as viscosity. The extent to which the object is affected by the heat is an intensive property called heat capacity.
In certain conditions, enough heat can raise the temperature of the object, which then can undergo a state change, also known as a phase change. For example, the change of a solid to liquid or liquid to gas. In solids molecular vibration is back and forth. In liquids, molecules turn as they vibrate. In gases, molecular motion is unrestricted. How heat moves throughout an object can be classified as a process such as conduction, convection, or radiation.
What is Heat?
Heat is Energy. Mechanical Energy can become heat through friction. The unit of energy is Joule. Heat is also measured in Calories.
1 Cal = Heat required to the temperature of 1g of H2O by 1C.
Originally, heat was thought to be a separate quantity, connected with Temperature. James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) showed that heat is in fact energy (thermal energy).

∙ 13y agoWhen heat is absorbed by a solid, the solid molecules absorb heat and starts vibrating to and fro and when the heat is sufficient to provide vibrations to escape the intermolecular forces, then the solid begins to deform into soft one followed by in liquid state and then in gaseous state.

∙ 15y agoTypically the solid will both increase in temperature and expand, as the heat energy delivered to the solid causes its molecules to vibrate faster and to increase their spacing.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe solid absorbs the heat and the energy from the heat is used to weaken the molecular bonds in the solid. All this is accompanied by a rise in temperature.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe intermolecular forces which hold them together are no longer sufficient to overcome the energy of the particles, thus they separate. When the bonds are broken the object changes phase.

Which form of heat is absorbed when a solid liquefies?
latent heat
What happens to absorbed light?
it turns into heat
What happens when heat hits a solid?
The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.
What happens to latent heat when ice thaws?
its absorbed
What happens when heat meets a solid?
If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.

What happens to heat during an endothermic reaction?
Heat is absorbed.

What happens to water when heat energy is absorbed?
It's temperature rises according to the heat source.
What happens to the heat when water solidifies into ice it absorbed or evolved?
I think it is evolved because if the heat is absorbed then the latent heat will be given to the matter( ice) then the ice will start melting
What happens to the heat in a system and in the surroundings in an exothermic reaction?
the system releases heat,meaning that energy is generatered.
What happens with weight when you heat a solid?
Nothing does.
What happens when heat is added to a solid?
It melts into a solid.
