What effect does heating a solid to a high temperature have on its crystal lattice?

You should know from basic science that the difference in the three phases of matter is the arrangement of their molecules. Solids have compact molecules. Because of this, it is relatively more organized such that it is made up simple, repeating blocks of unit cells. This is called the crystal lattice. When the solid is heated, the kinetic energy of the system increases, thereby increasing frequency of collisions. But since the solid's atoms are compact, they merely vibrate. When the energy gets too high so that phase transformation can be achieved, the space inside the crystal lattice expands and the atoms move farther away from each other. Then, they could turn into a liquid of gaseous phase.

ozzi

Answer:

Law of independent assortment

Explanation:

This is because law of independent assortment state that alleles of two or more genes when two organisms mate will be inherited or pass down to gametes which are in one way or the other independent of each other or each of the alleles. Therefore parent can have up to three different traits and the alleles can be inherited by the gametes.

ikadub [295]

Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest && an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by another force. With that being said you feel tossed around because you are initially at rest but when you ride the roller coaster you take it's course of motion.

melamori03 [73]

The mistake here is that the total energy of the system does not change - generally, the total amount of energy in a system never changes unless the energy enters or leaves the system somehow (for example, if you see the Earth alone as a system, then energy from the sun enters the system and some energy is lost to space in the form of heat).
