Q: What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as a substance changes from solid to liquid?
Solution:
The kinetic energy of particles increases as they gain energy to overcome intermolecular forces during melting.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that all substances are made of tiny particles that are always moving.
Step 2: Know that in a solid, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.
Step 3: When a solid heats up, it gains energy, which makes the particles move faster.
Step 4: As the particles move faster, their kinetic energy increases.
Step 5: Eventually, the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together.
Step 6: This process of changing from solid to liquid is called melting.
