breaking covalent bonds
To melt a network solid, a significant amount of energy is required to break the strong bonds holding the atoms or ions together. These bonds are typically covalent or ionic in nature and must be overcome for the solid to transition into a liquid state.
The energy required to melt a solid into a liquid is called the heat of fusion or enthalpy of fusion. It represents the amount of energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid together and transition it into a liquid state.

The energy required to melt a solid at its melting point is known as the heat of fusion. This energy is used to break the bonds between the solid particles so they can move freely as a liquid. The amount of energy needed varies depending on the substance.
The measurement of how much heat energy is required for a substance to melt is called the heat of fusion. It is the amount of energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point.
The delta Hfusion, or enthalpy of fusion, is the amount of energy required to convert a unit mass of a solid into a liquid at its melting point without changing its temperature. To calculate the energy needed to melt a specific mass of solid, you multiply the mass of the solid by the delta Hfusion value. The formula is: Energy = mass × ΔHfusion. This gives the total energy required to completely melt the given mass of the substance.
Heat energy is needed to melt a solid because it increases the kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to break free from their fixed positions in the solid structure. The heat energy required to melt a solid is called "latent heat of fusion."
No, network solid is a good conductor of electricity due to its structured network of metallic atoms that allow the flow of electrons. This makes it useful in applications where high electrical conductivity is required.
Depending on the solid you could melt it or bash it then melt it or cut it up. But it depends on the solid, mostly if its food you can just melt it. xxxx
The heat of fusion for acetic acid is 20.5 kcal/mol. Therefore, the amount of heat required to melt 1.95 mol of solid acetic acid would be 1.95 mol x 20.5 kcal/mol = 40 kcal.
Heat energy is needed to melt a solid because it provides the molecules in the solid with enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces holding them in a rigid structure. The specific heat energy required to melt a solid at its melting point is called the latent heat of fusion.
