Detailed explanation-1: -During melting, energy goes exclusively to changing the phase of a substance; it does not go into changing the temperature of a substance. Hence melting is an isothermal process because a substance stays at the same temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melting: The transition from the solid to the liquid phase. Freezing: The transition from the liquid phase to the solid phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance’s temperature to the melting point.

Detailed explanation-4: -The change from the solid state to the liquid state is called melting. The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid is called the melting point. The melting point of water is 0°C.
