Explain how a solid converts into a liquid.

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans : Conversion Of Solid into Liquid : In solid substance when the particles absorb heat energy they undergo increased kinetic molecular movement that changes the arrangement of particles and thus changes the shape of solid substance. When the temperature is reached up to the melting point of solid all the particles absorbs sufficient heat energy to transform from solid to liquid state.
