What is the relationship between heat capacity and changes of state?

Why is a change of state a constant temperature process?

During a change of state, the added heat energy is used to break the bonds between molecules, changing the state, rather than increasing the temperature. Hence, the temperature remains constant.

Heat Transfer Modes

There are three primary ways heat energy moves: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves direct contact, convection relies on fluid movement, and radiation uses electromagnetic waves.
