The latent heat of fusion
It's called the melting point.
The latent heat of fusion
When a substance is below the triple point, the equilibrium will be between solid and vapor rather than solid/liquid or liquid/vapor. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to vapor without any intermediate phase change. The latent heat of sublimation is the energy required to change a given quantity of solid into the vapor at equilibrium. It is analogous to (but not the same as) latent heat of melting (energy required to melt the solid to liquid) and latent heat of vaporization (energy required to change a liquid into a gas).
what is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid called
To turn from a solid to a liquid it must reach it's melting point by heating up. Examples: ice to water, rocks to magma. Every thing melts at a different temperature.
No heat (energy) is required to freeze water (from liquid to solid). Freezing RELEASES energy (heat), as it is an exothermic event. If you want to know how much energy is release, you need to know the heat of fusion for water, and then multiply that by the mass of water being frozen.

No. Going from solid to liquid at constant temperature is an endothermic process. The required amount of energy is called "heat of fusion" of the material that changes state.
The amount of heat energy required to solid substance solid into a liquid state without any changes in temperature ______________________ Apex: The amount of energy required to turn a mole of a solid into a liquid
A material in solid phase changes to its liquid phase by absorbing energy. The intermolecular(inter-particular) bonds are broken as the temperature increases until enough bonds are broken that the rigid shape of the solid can no longer be maintained.*The energy required to turn a solid into a liquid, of the same temperature, is called the latent heat of fusion.
Energy is given off when cooling from a liquid to a solid. How much depends on the elements involved and the amount.
The energy required to go from a solid to a liquid-Apex
The heat energy required to change a substance between solid & liquid at constant temperature is called the "latent heat of fusion". If the change is from solid to liquid the substance gains this energy. If the change is from liquid to solid the substance gives up this energy. The exact amount of latent heat of fusion is different for different substances.
