Answer:
It should be heated
Step-by-step explanation:
To change the solid nugget of silver to liquid so that it can be shaped, the solid mass should be heated to the melting point.
- This change is a phase change from solid to liquid
- When the melting point of a substance is reached, the fixed lattice structure collapses.
- This allows for the particles to slide and flow relative to one another.
Therefore a phase change from solid to liquid is attained by heating of the solid to melting point.
