- little energy
-vibrate in place
- very incompressible

1) Adding salt on the roads in the winter time,
2) Adding salt to the ice bath when making ice cream.
3) Mixing 2 substances when making coolant for a car.
As temperatures increase, additional heat energy is applied to the constituent parts of a solid, which causes additional molecular motion. Molecules begin to push against one another and overall volume of a substance increases. When thermal energy is added to a substance, it’s temperature increases.
Photons can sometimes break apart molecules
