Temperature remains constant during a phase change.
(This hold true for most small samples, of course an iceberg would have temperature variation throughout its volume.)
At its melting point all the energy being added to the ice will go toward melting it. In order for ice to melt there are "bonds" that need to be broken. (look up crystallization) These bonds require energy to break. So, until all the bonds are broken the temperature will not increase.

What is melting points and the boiling points?
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.
What temperature does argon become a gas?
the freezing temperature of Argon is-189 celsius.(melting)
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.
Did the temperature fluctuate while the is melting?
No. The temperature does not change during the melting process. All of the heat energy is used to break the bonds of the solid to form a liquid, i.e. the energy is used in the phase change, and thus is not used to raise the temperature.
What becomes a solid above the melting point?
The melting point is the temperature which a material, element or mixture, changes from the solid to a liquid. Therefore, all liquids become solids above the melting point.
What is melting points and the boiling points?
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.
When you reach the temperature of what point you become a liquid.?
melting
Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?
Melting point: at this temperature a solid become a liquid.Boiling point: at this temperature a liquid become a gas.
What is the melting point Freezing point?
Freezing and melting points are synonyms: at this temperature a solid become a liquid or a liquid become a solid.
At what temperature does liquid become solid?
At its melting point. For example, the melting point of ice is 0 degrees celsius, so ice (solid) will melt to become water (liquid) at this temperature.
How is melting point of a substance defined?
This is the temperature when a solid become a liquid.
When solid NaCl is heated from room temperature it melts. Explain the change?
By heating the internal energy of a solid increase what leads to melting when the crystalline system is destroyed and the solid become a liquid.
What temperature for zinc to become a solid?
The melting point of zinc is 419,53 oC.
What temperature does argon become a gas?
the freezing temperature of Argon is-189 celsius.(melting)
What happens when fluid changes from a liquid state by a reduction in its temperature?
When temperature becomes below the melting point, it 'freezes' to become solid.
What substance become a liquid when his temperature is above 0 degrees Celsius?
Any substance with a melting point above this given temperature.
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.
