Answer
Gain
Explanation
## When a solid melts to form a liquid, this process is referred to as "melting". ## In the process of melting, particles in the solid gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in the solid structure. ## Further, the transition from a solid to a liquid generally involves the addition or gain of energy. The energy is used to increase the movement of the particles. And, the additional movement of the particles helps overcome the bonds holding them together.## Given against this physical process are the choices "create", "gain", and "lose", where it should be noted that the word "gain" most accurately fits in that sentence.#
