The physical reaction of melting

Answered by jonericfogg | 2024-06-24

The conversion of solidified wax to liquid wax on heating is a physical change called melting, which is an endothermic process that absorbs heat. As wax is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, eventually transitioning from solid to liquid at the melting point. This similar phenomenon can be observed with other materials like ice melting into water.
