Question

Thermal Energy needed to convert solid to liquid

• A. Melting point
• B. Sublimation heat
• C. Heat of fusion
• D. Latent heat

Hint:

Remember that heat of fusion is specific to the substance being melted and occurs at the substance's melting point.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The thermal energy required to convert a solid to a liquid is known as the heat of fusion. This is the amount of energy needed to overcome the forces holding the molecules in a solid state, allowing them to move freely in a liquid state.
