Q

what is the process of melting

A

if energy is supplied by heating a solid, the heat energy causes stronger vibrations until the particles eventually have enough energy to break away from the solid arrangement to form a liquid

Q

what is the process of freezing

A

if heat is removed form a liquid the particles will have less kinetic energy, this decrease in kinetic energy will cause the particles to slow down for energy for the forces of attraction to fix them back into the solid state

Q

what is the process of boiling

A

If enough heat energy is supplied to a liquid, the particles eventually move fast enough to break all the attractions between them, and the liquid boils
