Which consequence results when latent heat addition fails during melting?

A)Incomplete phase transition occurs
B)Molecular disorder instantaneously decreases
C)System enthalpy stabilizes
D)Kinetic energy rapidly accumulates

💡 Explanation

An incomplete phase transition occurs because the added energy during melting overcomes intermolecular forces due to latent heat absorbtion. Therefore, the solid doesn't undergo a complete change to to liquid, rather than increasing kinetic energy.
