Because of phase transition ie from solid to liquid during melting and from liquid to vapour during boiling. So just to change over from one phase to the other heat is totally utilized and hence no chance to have a rise in temperature. So temperature remains constant.
The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is also the condensation point. The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium. It is also the melting point.
All substances have melting points and boiling points. A melting point is merely the temperarture at which it changes from a solid to liquid and vice versa. The boiling point of a substance would be the temperature at which it changes from liquid to gas and vice versa.
The melting point and the boiling point of a substance are physical characteristics for each substance and are unchanged at the same pressure.
Room temperature is 25 oC so it would still be a solid. It would be 104 degrees F... So. unless the substance's boiling point is below that, it would be a solid. otherwise it would be a gas.
The state of matter of a substance at room temperature depends on whether the melting and boiling points are above or below room temperature. At room temperature:A substance is solid if both the melting and boiling points are above room temperature.A substance is liquid if the melting point is below room temperature but the boiling point is above room temperature.A substance is a gas if both the melting point and boiling point are below room temperature.
A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.
it changes depending upon the temperature
The boiling point of a substance is the point at which that substance will change between being a gas and a liquid. For example, the boiling point of water is 100oC, so water vapour will change to water at this temperature. The boiling point of Methane is -161oC, so any temperature above this, Methane will be in gas form.
Melting point: at this temperature a solid become a liquid.Boiling point: at this temperature a liquid become a gas.
The melting or the boiling point.
As the heat content increases, the temperature of the substance will rise. However, if the substance is not at its melting or boiling point, it will not undergo a phase change. Instead, its temperature will continue to increase until it reaches its melting or boiling point, at which point a phase change will occur.
what is the melting point and boiling point of substance
This is because the heat supplied to the substance is used up in the overcoming the inter molecular forces and therefore , it does not show up as a rise in the temperature. Temperature stays constant until all the interactions are broken.

This is the definition of the melting point of an element or substance. The melting point is when a solid begins to turn into a liquid. A substance also has a boiling point and freezing point.
The temperature at which the solid melts, which remains constant until all of the substance is melted.
