Define Fusion


Open in App
Solution

Fusion:

  • The process by which a substance changes from a solid-state to a liquid state is called melting or fusion.
  • This change occurs on heating a solid because the particles of the solid gain energy and start vibrating more vigorously.
  • A point is reached where particles gain enough energy to overcome the force of attraction and they start moving.
  • Hence, by reducing the intermolecular force of attraction, solid changes into a liquid.
