Explain why there is no change in temperature when a substance is melting
Supply of heat to a melting solid reduces the forces of attraction between the molecules and increases the separation between them. This increases the potential energy (P.E) between the molecules while keeping kinetic energy (K.E) of the molecules the same. Further increase in separation between the molecules causes the regular pattern to collapse as the solid changes to liquid. Until this process is complete, the temperature does not change.
