Question on: JAMB Physics - 2019
During the transformation of matter from the solid to the liquid state, the heat supplied does not produce a temperature increase because
the heat energy is quickly conducted away
the heat capacity has become very large as the substance melts
the heat gained is equal to the heat lost by the substance
all the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together
The process in which a solid changes to a liquid is called melting. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. For a given type of matter, the melting point is the same as the freezing point. During melting, the heat supplied does not produce a temperature increase because the heat is used to break the bonds holding the molecules of the solid together
