  • Melting: Understanding the Phase Change from Solid to Liquid
    That's correct! When a solid is heated up, it turns into a liquid. This process is called melting.

    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.
