What happens to the temperature of a block of ice when you put a Bunsen burner underneath it?
You might think that the temperature goes up smoothly, but that's not what happens. The graph of temperature against time is called a heating curve. Let's look at the heating curve for water.
Melting point is where the solid turns into a liquid like when butter is too close to stove and it melts.
Solidification is when a liquid turns back into a solid like melted butter put into a refridgerator.
Boiling point is where the liquid turns into a gas like leaving a pot on stove to boil water for pasta.
Condensation is when a gas forms back into a liquid like the vapor from your pot forming droplets on the window.

Question 2
2.
Substances with higher boiling points and higher melting points have more attractive forces between their molecules. The more attraction there is between the molecules, the more energy is needed to pull the molecules apart from one another to get the molecule to change phase. In the below chart, which one has the strongest, most attractive forces between the molecules?
