Melting is an endothermic change, because ice absorbs energy from its surroundings as it melts.
The added energy is used in the phase change to break intermolecular bonds.It is used for the phase change. ~ APEX
energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change

When energy is added during a phase change the energy is used to break molecular bonds.
When energy is added during a phase change the energy is used to break molecular bonds.
Heat energy must be added to or subtracted from a substance to cause a phase change.
Basically because there is energy needed for the temperature to rise or become lower, but energy is also needed to change the phase, so instead of the energy being used to change the temperature, it is being used to change the phase, therefore temperature does not change.
Melting is a phase change in which a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. Sublimation is a phase change in which a solid moves directly into the gas phase. Both melting and sublimation are two types of physical change.
Heat associated with phase change is called Latent Heat
Latent energy as far as I remember
