Melting is an endothermic process. using the terms 'kinetic energy' and 'intermolecular forces', explain how the addition of energy can cause a solid to melt.

Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in your queries.
