Melting Below Zero SCiENTifiC AMERiCAN February 2000 51 nated with its four nearest neighbors. As you approach the crystal’s surface, however, the lattice becomes distorted as the outermost molecules reach out into the unstructured environment of the air around them. These surface molecules have the fewest chemical bonds holding them in place, and as a result they vibrate more violently as the temperature warms than do the molecules in the interior of the crystal. At a sufficiently high temperature—but still below the normal melting point—the molecules begin to flow in a liquidlike layer [see illustration above].
