Which outcome results when rapid heating causes a solid's temperature to rise above the melting point without uniform liquid formation?

A)Superheating above the equilibrium melting temperature
B)Sublimation directly into gaseous phase
C)Recrystallization into thermodynamically stable phase
D)Lowering average kinetic energy of molecules

💡 Explanation

Superheating occurs because the fusion process requires nucleation sites; therefore, the temperature rises above the equilibrium melting point before the phase transition if nucleation is insufficient rather than immediate melting or sublimation.
