Of the molecules in the solid : yes.
Of the mass as a whole : no.
The kinetic energy increase.
Heating a solid at its melting point provides energy to the particles, causing them to vibrate faster and with more force. As a result, the particles move farther apart, increasing the inter-particle space and ultimately breaking the solid structure, leading to the transition from a solid to a liquid state.
When heat energy equal to the latent heat of fusion is supplied to a solid at its melting point, the energy is used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the particles in the solid state rather than increasing their kinetic energy. As a result, the temperature remains constant during the phase change, and the solid transitions into a liquid. The kinetic energy of the particles increases only after the phase change is complete and additional heat is supplied, leading to an increase in temperature.
The kinetic energy exceeds the inermolecular forces (Apex)
Energy affects melting point by influencing the kinetic energy of the particles within a solid. As energy is added, typically in the form of heat, the particles vibrate more vigorously, eventually overcoming the intermolecular forces holding them in a fixed position. This results in a phase transition from solid to liquid at the melting point. Conversely, a decrease in energy can lower the temperature, potentially raising the melting point by stabilizing the solid phase.
As a substance is heated to its melting point, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, causing them to move more rapidly. This increase in kinetic energy leads to a rise in temperature until the substance reaches its melting point. At the melting point, the kinetic energy is used to overcome the forces holding the particles together, leading to the substance changing from a solid to a liquid state.
The kinetic energy increase.
Kinetic energy is at its greatest point when an object is moving at its maximum velocity. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of an object. Therefore, the faster an object is moving, the greater its kinetic energy will be.

As the apple falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, until it lands, at which point it has maximum potential energy.

When the temperature of a material increase, thermal energy is added to the material. It also increases the kinetic and potential energy of the particles. When the temperature reach the boiling or melting point, the kinetic energy stays the same, but the thermal energy and the potential energy still keeps adding and increasing. And when ONLY the potential energy increase, the state of the material changes from one to another.
The summation of potential and kinetic energy of an object is constant. When the potential energy of an object decreases the kinetic energy increases. Assume a falling stone from some high point above ground. At the beginning, the potential energy is maximum while the kinetic energy is minimum or zero. While the stone is falling, the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy increases (with the summation of both is constant). When the stone reaches the ground, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is zero.
hydrogen bonding increases the intermolecular attractions and therefore increases the boiling point and melting point.
An example of kinetic energy being changed to potential energy and back again is a pendulum swinging. As the pendulum swings upward, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases. At the highest point of the swing, all the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy. As it swings back down, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.
