Question

As temperature increases so does the kinetic energy (see definition of Kelvin scale) in a solid, as kinetic energy increases, the atoms can break out of the rigid structure so that they can flow over each other. What is this called? What happens if you keep increasing the temperature? What happens to the density in these cases.

Step 1

- As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of atoms in a solid increases, allowing them to break out of their rigid structure and flow over each other. This process is called "melting." Show more…
