What happens to the particles of a solid when it is heated and melted?

The particles in a solid start to move faster and faster as they are heated. Eventually they may move fast and freely enough to reach the liquid state, and if they continue to be heated, the particles could obtain enough energy to leave the liquid state and go into the gaseous state.

∙ 11y agoWell what happens to particles in a solid is they slowly vibrate and get further and further apart until they turn into a gas. I had exactly the same question for my homework Thank you
No. your saying that if you put say a pan on a stove it will suddenly turn into a gas?? don't think so pal!
The real answer is the particles in a solid vibrate faster when heated this is why metal expands when heated, to accommodate for all of the moving particles
But if you do heat it up enough, for certain materials, the particles will separate and turn into a gas, or in some cases turn into a liquid.Wiki User

i.e.
when you melt butter, the "butter particles" which were originally moving slowly, have been sped up which causes it to lose its form and liquidate.

∙ 14y agoit is vibrating then it can slide ova each other and will become liquid if it reaches the melting point.

∙ 12y agoA substance in the solid phase will typically expand when heated. Most substances when heated sufficiently will melt into a liquid, assuming that they do not combust or sublimate.

∙ 14y agoWhen solids are heated the particles in the solid vibrate faster. Usually solid vibrate on a fixed spot but it vibrates faster when heated.

What happens when solides are heated?
When a solid is heated the particles vibrate more and they break free of the mold they are in. This makes the solid a liquid. if you continue to heat it, the vibrations will get stronger and the particles will start to evaporate. When the particles evaporate, then it would be a gas.
When ice melts the particles of ice change into other types of particles?
When a solid is heated its particles melts and change into liquid
What happens to the temperature of a solid when it is heated?
Heat affects the properties by speeding up the particles and providng them with more energy. As they heated the bounce off one another and expand the solid. When it's cold, The particles have less energy and don't move as much, This results in contraction and the solid shrinks. Basically, Heat ---> expansion Cooling -----> contraction
Why does a solid expands on heating?
The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)
What happens to a solid salt when heated on fire?
it burns and turns into nothing
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?
Thermal expansion occured.
What do particles in a solid do when heated?
They vibrate. And if heated enough, most connections will be broken and the object will be melted.
What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?
The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.
What happens to particles in a solid when they are heated or cooled?
if they are heated then they turn to a liquid, if that are a soled well they are hard like ice
What happens to the particles when a solid is melted?
The atoms start to move around more quickly and when the solid reaches it's melting point it will turn into a liquid.
What happens to the solid particles of naphthalene when heated?
Napthalene balls form a gaseous state from solid state without turning into liquod i.e. SUBLIMATION

What are the three things that occur when particles of a solid are heated until it melts?
The bonds between solid particles are weakened.

When copper is melted or boiled is it a solid liquid and gas?
sort of all of them, as when heated it can be a liquid or gas and when frozen it is a solid
How does the movement of particles in a stick of butter differ from the movement of particles in a dish of melted butter?
The movement of particles in a hard stick of butter are solid. Their not moving. While the movement of particles in a melted sick of butter are liquid. They are moving.
What happens when solid is heated?
Melts into a liquid.
