The heat supplied during melting is used to overcome the forces of attraction between particles, rather than increasing the temperature of the system.

The heat supplied during melting is used to overcome the forces of attraction between particles, rather than increasing the temperature of the system.
During the melting process, the temperature remains constant because the heat energy supplied is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, rather than increasing the kinetic energy.
