Solution

Latent heat of fusion:

1. heat energy is required to convert the solid to a liquid state. It means the solid particles have enough energy to change their state to a liquid.

2. The temperature remains constant during the melting of ice even though heat is supplied continuously because the temperature is supplied for changing the state of matter not for increasing the temperature.

3. The heat of the temperature is used by the particles of ice and they vibrate faster and break the force of attraction and then it becomes liquid

4. The temperature remains constant during ice melting because the heat supplied to ice is used for the transition of state rather than increasing the ice temperature.
