(a) Consider a substance where the intermolecular forces hold
the molecules in fixed rigid positions. What is the process called
when enough heat has been added to the substance so that the
molecules begin to flow? _____
(b) Consider a substance where the intermolecular forces hold the
molecules in close contact with each other, but the molecules can
flow. What is the process called when enough heat has been added to
the substance so that the molecules escape each other? ______
(c) Consider a substance where the intermolecular forces hold the
molecules in fixed rigid positions. What is the process called when
enough heat has been added to the substance so that the molecules
can escape each other? _____
(a) the substance is initially at solid state and on heating, going to liquid state. So, the process is MELTING.
(b) the substance is initially at liquid state and on heating, going to vapour state. So, the process is VAPOURIZATION/BOILING.
(c) the substance is initially at solid state and on heating, going to vapour state. So, the process is SUBLIMATION.
