Potential energy from intermolecular forces
The internal energy of a solid substance is primarily made up of kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules due to their motion and vibrations within the solid structure.
When a substance absorbs energy, its internal energy increases, which can lead to a rise in temperature, a change in phase (e.g., from solid to liquid), or chemical reactions. Absorbing energy typically causes the substance's particles to move more quickly or rearrange themselves in a way that stores the additional energy.
When heat is supplied to a solid substance, the energy is absorbed by the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster and thus increasing their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solid to eventually change phase into a liquid or gas, depending on the substance and the amount of heat supplied.
The solid state.
Melting solid into liquid requires energy to be added to the substance.

temperature has to be low so it can freeze. it has to release internal energy so it can be stable
solid
When a substance absorbs energy from its surroundings, it undergoes a phase change known as endothermic. This results in an increase in the substance's internal energy, allowing it to transition from one state to another (e.g., from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas) by absorbing heat from its surroundings.
When heat is supplied to a solid substance, the energy is absorbed by the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster and thus increasing their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solid to eventually change phase into a liquid or gas, depending on the substance and the amount of heat supplied.
During heating the internal energy is increased, the ordering of the chemical entities in the crystal lattice is destroyed and the substance is melted.
The solid state.
When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases and causes the particles to move more rapidly, breaking the bonds holding them in a solid state. This results in the substance transitioning from a solid to a liquid state, known as melting. The melting point is the specific temperature at which this transition occurs for a particular substance.
A crystal is a solid form of a substance that has an orderly internal arrangement. Crystals display a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules that extends in all directions, creating a geometric structure.
gain heat energy.
You freeze the substance! (You remove energy from the system.)
