Answer:
This energy, called the heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Explanation:
Changing states of matter occur when matter loses or absorbs energy. When a substance absorbs energy, the atoms and molecules move faster and that increases kinetic energy, which causes particles to push even farther, to a point that they change its form. This energy is usually considered heat or thermal energy.
