∙ 13y agoThe melting point of a solid is a certain temperature that, when a solid is placed in it, will cause the solid to melt and become a liquid substance.
A more 'correct' description would be: The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the solid and the liquid are equal.

What is the melting point for hassium?
It is supposed that hassium is a solid metal.
Short difference between melting and boiling point?
Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid is in equilibrium with the gas phase of the same liquid. Melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid (i.e. the point at which a solid and liquid of the same substance will be in equilibrium)
Is energy required for melting?
yes. It takes energy to raise the temperature of the solid to the melting point.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the temperature increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
What is the energy required to melt a solid at its melting point?
heat of fusion
What do you call the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid?
This is the melting point.
How does a contaminant affect the melting point of a solid?
A contaminant reduces the melting point of a solid.
What is the physical change of a solid at the melting point?
It turns from a solid to a liquid
The temperature at which a solid melts is called?
melting point
Which term is defined as the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid state?
melting point
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
What becomes solid above the melting point?
assuming it is its own melting point NOTHING which is why its a MELTING point
Does matter change from solid to liquid at freezing point or at 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.
What is high melting point?
The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes STATE from SOLID to LIQUID. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends (usually slightly) on pressure and is usually specified at STANDARDatmospheric pressure.
What physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point?
The physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point called melting.
What point does a solid turn into?
A solid turns into a liquid at its melting point.
When a solid is heated to its melting point what happens?
The intermolecular forces of attraction in the solid decreases as it is heated and the solid melts (solid converts to liquid) at its melting point.
