-
A.
constituent particles acquires a greater kinetic energy
-
B.
energy of vibration of particles of the solid is less than the intermolecular forces
-
C.
constituent particles acquires energy above the average kinetic energy
-
D.
energy of vibration of particles of the solid equals the intermolecular forces
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
When a solid is heated, the particles are given more energy and start to vibrate faster.
At a certain temperature, the particles vibrate so much that their ordered structure breaks down.
At this point the solid melts into liquid.
