Why hello there, Lithommie
Your question: can someone explain to me what happens when thermal energy is added to a state of matter?
My answer:
Very good question
lets take a look at what happens when thermal energy is added to a state of matter.
In this case lets look at a football game, at the beginning of the game the players represent the state SOLID the scores 0-0 and the heat is on. Remember the players are solid and when they are melting into a liquid by the end of the game and the players are mixing through the field and collapsing with one another and by the end of the game they become liquid.
Do you understand more clearfully? If you add heat to ice( the solid ) it melts and becomes water( The liquid )
IMPORTANT: If my answer helped please mark me as brainliest thank you and have the best day ever!
