# data[].attributes.body
the temperature at which a given solid will melt.

# data[].attributes.body
when something absorbs heat the molecules move faster

# data[].attributes.body
it increases across the period

# data[].attributes.body
the stronger the force between the molecules and substance the higher the melting point will to be

# data[].attributes.body
 the amount of energy required to break a bond(s) to change the solid phase of a substance to a liquid.

# data[].attributes.body
When temperature is directly proportional to energy

# data[].attributes.body
The melting points will increase

# data[].attributes.body
it decreases down a group

# data[].attributes.body
Larger atoms are more polarizable, they exhibit stronger molecular forces so therefore higher melting points

# data[].attributes.body
melting point increases across the three metals because of increasing metallic bonds. atoms also get smaller and have more protons as you go from one element to another

# data[].attributes.body
melting point decreases down the group. decrease in melting point reflect decrease in force and strength of each metallic bond

# data[].attributes.body
The amount of energy needed to turn a solid into a liquid. the Stogner the energy the more it melts.

# data[].attributes.body
is a temperature at which something called the melting point. energy in the molecules increases from a rise in temperature, the molecules start moving faster. turning the solid into a liquid .

# data[].attributes.body
Increases across the period

# data[].attributes.body
decrease down the period

# data[].attributes.body
The Melting Point will decrease down the period

# data[].attributes.body
The temperature at which a given solid will melt.

# data[].attributes.body
The energy in the molecules increases from a rise in temperature, the molecules start moving faster. Soon they have enough energy to break free of their rigid structure and start moving around more easily. The matter becomes a liquid.

# data[].attributes.body
Increases across the period

# data[].attributes.body
Decreases going down the period

# data[].attributes.body
When energy breaks down a solid to a liquid.

# data[].attributes.body
When molecules break down due to energy which causes the molecules to move faster and melt quicker.

# data[].attributes.body
It increases because the atoms get smaller.

# data[].attributes.body
It decreases because the strength in the metallic bond weakens.
