Solution

The correct option is B False
At melting point of solid, the solids are converted into liquids. During melting the kinetic energy of the particles of the solids increases due to increase in temperature. Due to this the intermolecular forces of attraction in solids decreases and thus solids are converted into liquids.

Q. Assertion :In change of state from solid to liquid the temperature decreases util the entire amount of the solid substance melts Reason: The phenomenon of refreezing is called melting

Q. A solid consists of low kinetic energy, vibrating particles locked into position by interparticle attractive forces. When heat is applied, energy is absorbed and the particles start vibrating more vigorously.

Q. Since the movement of liquid particles is in between a solid and a gas, the attractive forces and kinetic energy are:
