How does Heat Energy help Particles overcome forces of attraction?

Open in App

Solution

When we supply the heat energy to the particle it is converted to kinetic energy. The particles started to vibrate/move with high energy. So the bond between the particles is broken and force of attraction is overcome by heat energy.
