Why does butter melt?!
Answers: Just a random question
Becuase it gets hot. Just a random answer.
because it wants to---STUPID!!! haha jk
Butter, like eveything aroung you is made up of tiny molecules, with various strength bonds between them. When the heat energy supplied to butter overcomes the forces bonding the butter in a solid state are overcome, the butter melts.
In fresh butter, precursors to lactones and free lactones exist in small concentrations. Free lactones exist in the lipid phase of butter,
Upon heating the lactone precursors are converted to lactones and their total concentration rises above their FTV.
So Butter melts.
Lactones in butter are also the major source of flavor in confections and high-quality candies where they provide the unique, pleasurable flavors associated with these products.
because it has fat
