Why does the temperature of a substance remain constant during its melting or boiling point?

Heya,
This keeps the temperature from rising beyond the boiling point. As heat energy is added, more molecules escape, and the temperature remains relatively constant. Finally, when all the molecules have escaped the solid and transitioned into the liquid phase, the temperature can start to rise above the freezing point.

This is because the heat supplied is continuously used up in changing the state of the substance by overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles. This heat energy absorbed without showing any rise in temperature is called latent heat.
