a). Latent heat of fusion
b). Melting point
c). Fusion
Answers
a). Latent heat of fusion-The latent heat of fusion or melting of solid is the quantity of heat in joules required to convert 1 kg of solid to liquid,without any change in temperature.
b). Melting point-The melting point is usually defined as the point at which materials changes from a solid to a liquid. The temperature at which solid changes its state to liquid at atmospheric pressure is called the melting point of that liquid.
c). Fusion-The phenomenon of change of solid into liquid is termed as fusion. For instance, melting of ice.
Answer:
melting point is a temperature range at which substance exist in two phases liquid and solid
fusion is a process when two substance combined together
