Answer: The motion of its particles increases.

Explanation: When heat energy is applied to a solid substances its particles acquire kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy of the particles increases, the bonds between the particles begin to break, and the particles engages in a random motion. As the heat energy increases, their kinetic energy increases and consequently their is an increase in the motion of the particles.
