If you add heat energy to a solid, the particles will vibrate with larger and larger amplitudes (''wobbles'') and eventually more and more of these particles will be able to break their solid bonds to form a liquid (melting).
Vaporization happens when a liquid substance gains enough thermal energy to turn into a gas. The molecules of a gaseous substance tend to move very fast since they tend to have more thermal energy than the molecules of a liquid.

As heat is added to the solid sample of hexane at -95°C, its potential energy increases. This causes the bonds between the molecules to weaken and eventually break, leading to a transition from a solid to a liquid state. The potential energy continues to increase until the hexane is completely melted. What is potential energy of the molecules?
By adding energy to the molecules in a solid the molecules begin to move quicker and can break away from the other molecules. The temperature at which a substance goes from a solid to a liquid is it melting point.
If the liquid is allowed to stand, if cooling is continued, or if a small crystal of the solid phase is added (a seed crystal), the supercooled liquid will convert to a solid, sometimes quite suddenly.
When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation).
The gaseous phase of a substance is the one with the highest energy, while the solid phase of a substance is the one with the lowest energy. In order to move to a higher energy phase, energy must be absorbed from the surroundings (endothermic).
If you take some cold solid material and add energy to it (heat it up) the particles in it will rattle around more. Usually at some point they will rattle so much that they break up the regular solid pattern and start sliding around as a liquid.
When you heat a solid, energy is transferred to the particles and makes them vibrate more strongly. Eventually, they are vibrating so much that the attractive forces are no longer strong enough to hold them together as a solid.

Heating Solids, Liquids and Gases When you add thermal energy to a solid, liquid or a gas, then you are making the particles in that matter move faster as each particle receives more kinetic energy. When this happens, solid particles have
The particles are colliding with each other and the walls of their container Energy makes particles move. The more energy the particles have, the faster they can move and the farther apart they can get When you add energy to a material, you increase the kinetic energy of the particles A common way to add energy is to add heat
In the solid-state atoms and molecules stick together, and as we add thermal energy to a solid state, the temperature of the solid increases, and molecules, and atoms oscillate faster. When we add enough thermal energy, oscillation becomes so high that bonds between molecules or
When thermal energy is added to dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), it undergoes sublimation and directly changes from a solid to a gas, without passing through a liquid phase. On the other hand, when
