For any given substance the melting point and the freezing point are the SAME temperature.

However, if the substance is increasiung in heat to move from solid to liquid then it is the MELTING POINT.

If that same substance is losing heat to move from liquid to solid then it is the FREEZING POINT.

Similarly, when moving from liquid to gas ity is the boiling point

, and when moving from gas to liquid it is the condensing point.
