Answer:Adding heat to a solid will definitely melt it.

Example: let's say we have a pack of Hershey's chocolate we take it and leave it outside in the heat.what will happen to it? it will melt 100%

the majority of solids melt. It depends on how solid it is.

Example 2 scenario: lets say we have a penny (a solid) it will melt but with a much higher temperature

the melting temperature for the penny is 1984.32 °F which is extremely high.

lets go back to the previous chocolate example--->

before the chocolate melted it wasnt as hard as the penny. the melting temperature would be much lower compared to the penny. the melting temperature for chocolate is 85°F-93°F.

Why do harder solids have a higher melting point than less-hard solids?

the reason for this is density. The penny is much dense than the chocolate.

How is a penny more dense than chocolate?

lets say we have chocolate (before it melted it was a solid) we are able to actually bite and chew the chocolate; but you are unable to bite and chew a copper coin. the reason for this is that copper is much more dense than chocolate.

it will NOT evaporate because the temperature for liquid evaporation is 212° F.

I hope this helps!!!
