Which outcome occurs when high kinetic energy overcomes Van der Waals forces?

💡 Explanation

Materials achieve a phase transition because increased temperature increases the kinetic energy. This leads to sufficient energy to overcome intermolecular forces via thermal excitation; therefore, solid melts into liquid form, rather than remaining solid because stronger molecular bonds prevent phase changes.
