  • Melting: Understanding the Process of Solid to Liquid Phase Change
    The process of liquefying a solid by heat is called melting.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Solid: A state of matter where particles are tightly packed and have a fixed shape and volume.

    * Heat: A form of energy that causes the particles within a substance to vibrate and move faster.

    * Melting: The process where heat energy increases the vibrations of the particles in a solid to the point where they break free from their fixed positions and transition into a liquid state.

    The temperature at which a solid melts is called its melting point.
