JordanDuring melting, a solid substance changes into its liquid state, with an increase in thermal energy causing the particles to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position within the solid lattice structure. This results in a break in the orderly arrangement of particles, leading to a more disordered arrangement in the liquid state.

What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
Is melting copper a exothermic process?
Yes, melting copper is an exothermic process because it releases heat as it changes from a solid to a liquid state. The energy required to overcome the bonds holding the copper atoms together is released in the form of heat during melting.
What change of state occurs when a substance reaches it's melting point. What occurs when it reaches it's boiling point?
When a substance reaches its melting point, it changes from solid to liquid. When a substance reaches its boiling point, it changes from liquid to gas.
How does earths surface change during an ice age?
it changes by all the ice melting ,there fore we flood.
What happens to a mineral during smelting?
During smelting, a mineral is heated at high temperatures to separate the valuable metal from the rest of the mineral. The mineral undergoes chemical and physical changes, melting to form liquid metal that can be further processed. Impurities are also removed during this process.
