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.

Which is true of a melting point and a boiling point?

A melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state, while a boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Both melting and boiling points are characteristic physical properties of a substance and can be used to identify and classify materials.

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 do terms boiling points and freezing point mean?
