Question Question 3
For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state?
The temperature remains constant during a change of state because the heat energy supplied or released is used to overcome the intermolecular forces between particles rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the particles. This heat energy that is supplied or released without showing any change in temperature is known as the latent heat.
