solid before it melts?
This is the melting point.
The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid, while the freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid. Both points represent the equilibrium between the solid and liquid phases of a substance.
The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition
Liquid nitrogen has no melting point. A melting point is the temperature when a solid turns into a liquid. Since liquid nitrogen is already a liquid, it has no melting point. It is already melted, compared to solid nitrogen.
No, Gas--->liquid (condensation). Solid---->liquid (melting)
It turns from a solid to a liquid
The process of solid to liquid is called melting. This occurs when a solid substance is heated to its melting point, at which the solid transitions into a liquid state.
The term defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state is called the melting point.
Matter changes from solid to liquid at its melting point, because this change is called melting. Freezing point is about the same as melting point, but it can be slightly lower, so melting point should always be used.
The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid is known as its melting point.
Freezing and melting points are synonyms: at this temperature a solid become a liquid or a liquid become a solid.
When solid start to turn into liquid its melting point. When liquid start turning into solid its freezing point.
