Do liquids have melting points?

No, they only have freezing points & gaseous points (it where the liquid becomes a gas). Why don' they have melting points? Well take this as an example: If you left your chocolate bar out in the sun it will melt and become a liquid. There for becoming a liquid IS melting, there is no further melting points to an object ounce it becomes a liquid. Substances have melting points. The melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid, in other words, the temperature at which it melts.
