When heat is supplied to a solid substance what happens to the energy?
When heat is supplied to a solid substance, the energy is absorbed by the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster and thus increasing their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solid to eventually change phase into a liquid or gas, depending on the substance and the amount of heat supplied.
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.
When heat is being supplied to a solid then what does the heat energy do to the particles of solid?
When heat is supplied to a solid, the heat energy causes the particles within the solid to vibrate more rapidly. This increase in vibration disrupts the regular arrangement of particles, leading to the solid expanding as the particles move further apart.
Why is heat of fusion called the latent heat of fusion?
Heat of fusion is called the latent heat of fusion because it is the heat energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid phase, or vice versa, without a change in temperature. This heat energy is "hidden" as it is being used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the substance together, rather than increasing its temperature.
What will happen if you heat a solid substance?
Heating a solid substance usually increases the kinetic energy of its particles, causing them to vibrate and move more rapidly. As a result, the substance may change state, melt into a liquid, or undergo a chemical reaction if it reaches its melting or reaction temperature.

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

What happens to kinetic energy particlewhen heat energy is equal to latent heat of fusion is supplied to a solid at its melting point?
When heat energy equal to the latent heat of fusion is supplied to a solid at its melting point, the energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the particles in the solid state rather than increasing their kinetic energy. As a result, the temperature remains constant during the phase change, and the solid transitions into a liquid. The kinetic energy of the particles increases only after the phase change is complete and additional heat is supplied, leading to an increase in temperature.
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.
What is heat transfer melting?
Heat transfer melting is the process by which a solid substance is converted into a liquid state due to the transfer of heat energy. As heat is added to a solid material, its molecules gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a solid arrangement, causing the substance to melt. This process occurs at the melting point of the material, which is unique to each substance.

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.
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.
How can you change a solid substance?
either extreme heat or extreme cold
What happens to heat energy when a substance changes from solid to liquid?
it melts
