It describes the behavior of solid particles, which vibrate and become more mobile with heat, overcoming attractive forces. Examples include ice melting at 0 °C and sodium chloride at 801 °C. The text highlights the role of intermolecular forces in determining melting points and includes a table of various materials and their respective melting points.
