Is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid the solid's boiling point?

No, it is the melting point. Ice changes to water when it melts, not when it boils.

∙ 7y agono that is the melting point. Boiling point goes from liquid change to gas

∙ 7y agoNo, this is the solid's melting point. Solids don't boil. Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas.

∙ 7y agoNo. Melting point (and freezing point).

When solid changes into liquid?
Solids changing to liquids are melting Liquids changing to solids are freezing Solids changing to gas are subliming Liquids changing to gas are boiling Gases changing to liquids are condensing.
What is the boiling point of a solid?
The definition of a boiling point is that temperature where a liquids turns to a gas. A solid would need to become liquid to discern it's boiling point.
What does melting and boiling point mean?
The relative temperature at which a group of solids change into liquids is known as relative melting point. As heat increases, the solid slowly changes its state as it melts. Melting of ice to water is an example for melting point.
Most metals are in what state at room temptaure?
Almost all metals have highly boiling and melting points. Hence they are solids at room temperature. Only Mercury is liquid at room temperature.
Why does the temperature of a substance remain constant during its melting point and boiling point?
Melting and boiling are changes of state. Melting changes state from solid to liquid, and boiling changes state from liquid to vapor. Thus, these are physical, not chemical changes. All of the heat energy that goes into changing solid to liquid or liquid to vapor (or any change of state for that matter), is used only to change the state and therefore the temperature of the system does not change.
When temperature increases solids change to a?
gas or a liquid
Is there a boiling point for a solid?
All elements have boiling points. All element can also become solids if cooled to the proper temperature. However, with the vast number of solids in the world, there are just as many boiling points.
How do temperature changes affect the expansion of solids liquid and gases?
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
How can matter change from one state to another state of matter?
They can;liquid to gas= evapouration(boiling water)liquid to solid=freezing(ice cubes)gas to liquid= condensation(steamy bathroom windows)solid to liquid= melting(ice cubes).
Is caesium and francium liquid?
At room temperature caesium and francium are solids.
Are all solids the same?
No, not all solids are the same. For example. each solid has a different temperature in which it melts. Heat, water, and coldness are factors in solids.
Why distillation cannot be done with volatile solids dissolved in liquids?
The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.
