In that case, the solid substance will either increase in temperature, or it will melt. Some substances may also sublimate instead of melting - this means that they change directly to gas form.

When heat is supplied to a solid substance what happens to the energy?
The energy must be supplied to the solid so that it melts.
What will happen if you heat a solid substance?
if you heat a solid substance it will melt at certain degree of temperature according to the substance.
When heat is being supplied to a solid then what does the heat energy do to the particles of solid?
Adding heat energy will usually increase the temperature. At the level of the individual particles, the particles will vibrate faster.
What happens to the heat energy which is supplied to the solid once it has started melting?
During the phase change of a solid to a liquid (melting), all of the energy goes into breaking the intermolecular bonds holding the molecules of the solid together, and none of the energy goes into changing the temperature. Thus, during this particular phase of melting, the temperature of the system does NOT change.
What does the latent heat of fusion represent?
The energy required to melt a substance. (Apex)

What happens to the heat energy which is supplied to the solid once it starts melting?
when solid has already melted and when heat is supplied it starts increasing the temperature of liquid
Why temperature remains constant during the process of melting or boiling?
This is because of latent heat. When a substance is being melted, heat is supplied to the solid until its melting point is reached. When the solid reaches that temperature, any additional heat energy is used - not to raise its temperature - but to cause the phase to change from solid to liquid. The amount of energy required (per unit mass) is the latent heat of melting (or freezing, when the process is reversed) for that substance. When the phase change is complete, any further heat energy supplied will, once again, go towards raising the temperature.The same thing happens at the boiling point except that this time it is the latent heat of evaporation/condensation.

What is the name given to heat energy at melting point?
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.
How does temperature vary when a substance changes from solid to liquid?
When heat is applied to a solid, its temperature rises until it reaches the melting point of the substance. As the heat application continues, the temperature remains constant at the melting point as all of the heat is consumed in changing the state of the substance from solid to liquid. It is only after the conversion to liquid is complete that the temperature of the substance again starts to rise as long as heat is still being applied.
What happens to heat energy when a substance changes from solid to liquid?
it melts
How can you change a solid substance?
either extreme heat or extreme cold
Why is heat energy needed to melt a solid. What is this heat energy called?
the energy that goes into changing a substance from a solid to a liquid (melting) is called the latent heat of fusion.
