Q

Process of melting

A

As solid is heated particles gain energy and vibrate more

As temperature increases when it reaches melting point there’s enough energy to break free from their positions

This is called melting when solid becomes liquid

Q

Process of boiling

A

When liquid heated particles gain more energy

Energy makes particles move faster which weakens and breaks the bonds holding liquid together

When it reaches the boiling point the particles have enough energy to break their bonds

Q

Process of condensing

A

As gas cools particles no longer have enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them

Bonds form between the particles

At boiling point so many bonds have formed between the gas particles the gas becomes liquid
