Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the particles of a solid when it is heated? (2023)
  • Step 1: Start with a solid object, like ice or a metal block.
  • Step 2: When you heat the solid, you apply energy to it.
  • Step 3: The particles in the solid start to absorb this energy.
  • Step 4: As the particles gain energy, they begin to move faster.
  • Step 5: The faster movement of particles causes them to vibrate more.
  • Step 6: If enough heat is applied, the solid may change to a liquid (like ice melting to water).
