Question 1 Report

A solid begins to melt when?
Answer Details
A solid begins to melt when the constituent particles acquire a greater kinetic energy. When heat is added to a solid, the temperature of the solid increases. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles in the solid also increases. At a certain temperature, called the melting point, the kinetic energy of the particles overcomes the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, causing the solid to transition into a liquid state. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
