Question

A mining crew extracted two different types of minerals from underground.

Then, they transferred the same amount of energy into both minerals. Why did
mineral A change while mineral B stayed the same? Explain what happened to
the molecules of both minerals.

Answer 1

they could be different types of minerals, so one reacted to the energy differently than the other one. and pls answer my latest questions its due by 11:59 pm TONIGHT or i get kicked out of school.. pls help..

Answer 2

Mineral A's molecules had a high level of attraction before. As well as the molecules in mineral B. But, mineral A's molecules, probably had higher kinetic energy. Which means a higher temperature and faster-moving molecules. Which allowed it to spread more and since it spread more, it became a liquid. Mineral B might have had not that much kinetic energy so the temperature was colder and its molecules moved slower. That's why probably mineral A changed to a liquid while mineral B remained a Solid.

Step-by-step explanation:
