Question

Define melting point of a solid. Explain what happens when we supply heat energy to ice at 0 degree celcius name the term used for heat absorbed in the above process and define it.

Answer 1

hlo
a fixed temperature at which a solid substance melts and changes to liquid form at atmospheric pressure is called melting point of solid..
when heat energy is supplied to a solid the particles absorbs this energy which leads to an increase in kinetic energy and subsequently when enough energy is absorbed , the solid turns into liquid..
hope u  got a simple answer =)
