During the transformation of matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce temperature increase because
all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together
the heat capacity has become very large as the substance melts
the heat energy is quickly conducted away
the heat gained is equal to the heat lost by the substance
The change from the solid-state to the liquid state is called melting. The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid is called the melting point. During this transformation process from the solid to the liquid state, there is no production of temperature increase due to the heat supplied because all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together
