During 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.
This is the melting point.
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.
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.
it changes by all the ice melting ,there fore we flood.
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.
