Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. It melts when heated. It is because, heat energy travels to the wax on the area where the materials lie, for instance, at the bottom of the pot. When these wax molecules are hit by the energy (heat) it causes them to move faster until they reach their melting point.
2. The molecules begin to move and are able to slide past each other and become a liquid. When the liquid is cooled, the molecules slow down and reconnect to become a solid again.
