Definition of Constant temperature during phase change
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Constant temperature during phase change in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
The temperature of the substance remains constant because the average random kinetic energy of the particles does not change.
