Question

In terms of the kinetic-molecular model, what happens during melting? (3)

Phillanie Jacobs · Accepted Answer

- Solid ~> Liquid 
- Increasing the temperature of the surroundings causes particles to absorb energy meaning they gain more kinetic energy 
- Eventually, the particles gain enough energy to disrupt the regular arragement and become a liquid
