Here's a breakdown:
* Solid: Molecules in a solid are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions.
* Heating: Adding heat provides energy to the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster.
* Melting: When the molecules vibrate with enough energy, they overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position and start to move around more freely. This results in a change of state from solid to liquid.
