Question

melting can be best described as a process in which molecules lose kinetic energy and move slowly. lose kinetic energy and remain stationary. lose kinetic energy and escape into the atmosphere. gain kinetic energy and escape into the atmosphere. gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other.

Explanation:

Melting is a phase - change process where a solid turns into a liquid. Molecules in a solid have limited movement. When heated, they gain kinetic energy. This increased energy allows them to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in place and move past each other to form a liquid.

Answer:

gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other.
