As more heat was added, the solid substance melted into a liquid and then evaporated into a gas. The molecules in the substance gained energy, vibrated more vigorously, and eventually overcame the intermolecular forces holding them together as a solid. The graph would show an initial increase in temperature as the solid heated up, followed by a plateau during the phase change from solid to liquid, and then another increase as the liquid turned into a gas.
