What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?
It heats up, until it reaches the melting point or sublimation point of the solid.
Why does the temperature become constant at the point of melting till the whole substance of a solid melted?
That happens because any heat that is added to that melting material will be used to cause further melting, until there is nothing left to melt, at which point the added heat can raise the temperature. A solid melts at its melting point; it does not get hotter than the melting point without melting, that's why it is the melting point.
Under what conditions heat can be given to a substance without raising its temperature?
If the substance is in solid condition and at the melting temperature, heat can be given without rising the temperature. Then the substance melts and all the heat will be used in the melting process. Also when the substance is at the boiling temperature you can add heat without rising the temperature. At that point the heat is used to vaporate the substance.
How long can a solid stay outside with out melting?
Depends on what the solid is made of and what the temperature is. Sand is a solid and will stay outside forever in normal Earth temperatures without melting. Ice will stay outside forever if the temperature remains below freezing point.
What does the melting point mean?
the highest temperature in which a solid substances turns into a liquid without any change in its chemical contents

How can temperature be increased without heating?
It is possible to add heat to a substance without changing its temperature. That happens during melting and boiling. However, I cannot think of a case in which the temperature of a substance increases without heat being added to it, either by radiation, conduction or convection.

Why can metal be hammered without breaking?
why is it sodium chloride has the highest melting temperature
When snow seems to disappear without actually melting what do you think happened?
Sublimation happens.
Compare the temperature of a cup of ice with and without salt added to it?
They would be relatively the same temperature, it's just the melting point which is changed.
What happens when the napthalene balls were exposed to the sunlight?
They sublimate: that is go from solid to vapour phase without melting.

How do the melting point and the freezing point of a substance compare?
Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
What is the boiling and melting temperature of water with and without salt added to it?
without salt water melts at 0 c or 32 f. It boils at 100 c or 212 f. Depending on the amount of salt, it melts at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.
