why does the temperature not raise during the process of melting boliling though heat energy is constantly moving

Solution

During the process of melting, the heat supplied is used as latent heat of fusion. This heat energy is used for breaking the strong forces of attraction in solids and thus forming a liquid state. Due to this the temperature does not rise even though heat is constantly supplied.
