During the phase change does the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance increase?

Solution

The process of converting one state of a substance into another state is known as the change of phase of a substance.
The phase change is observed when the exchange of heat takes place between and its surroundings.
Since the energy is used to break the molecules, the average kinetic energy of the molecule of the substance doesn't change.
