At that temperature, the liquid and solid phases are in equilibrium.
This temperature and pressure is called the triple point.
Two phases exist: gaseous and liquid.
At the melting point, the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium so the value of delta G is zero.
a point indicating three phases in dynamic equilibrium
Boiling points and melting points are temperatures at which change of phase occurs to liquids andsolids. Some substances, such as water, have a TRIPLE POINT temperature at which all three phases (solid, liquid, vapor), exist simultaneously.Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its phase changes into vapor and the melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. The solid and liquid phase of a substance exist in equilibrium at the melting point. The reverse change from liquid to solid is referred to as the freezing point. The freezing point of a substance is often determined by observing the temperature at which a solid begins to change into a liquid, which is actually the melting point, because a characteristic property of some substances is their ability to supercool.

At the melting point, the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium so the value of delta G is zero.
The freezing point and melting point of a substance are both defined as the temperature at which liquid and solid phases of the substance can remain together at equilibrium.
Trick question. AT palladium's melting point it exists both as a liquid and a solid. It is in equilibrium with both phases. Of course you'd have a hard time getting it to its precise melting point.

At the melting point there is kind of an equilibrium between solid and liquid states. Some nitrate will be in solid state while other will be in liquid state. On lowering the pressure or increasing the temperature, all nitrate will become liquid.
Triple = 3
The freezing point is the same as the melting point, temperature-wise.
Both indicate the temperature at which the solid and liquid states of a substance are in equilibrium.
solid, liquid, gas phases in equilibrium
Thermodynamic melting point is the temperature and pressure at which a solid will be in equilibrium with a liquid of the same composition. It is not a single point, rather it is a two-dimensional function of temperature and pressure. For most substances, the effect of pressure is rather gradual so that large changes in pressure are required to cause any significant changes in the melting point temperature.
Imagine water in contact with ice at equilibrium, at zero Celsius. Adding salt or any other water soluble substance shifts the equilibrium in favour of melting: Kinetic equilibrium between water and ice is maintained by constant interchange of water molecules between the solid and liquid phases. After adding a water soluble substance, there is a lower concentration of water molecules in the liquid, but the concentration of water molecules in the ice remains the same. Therefore, the equilibrium is shifted in favor of liquid (Le Chateliere's Principle), and the melting point must decrease to overcome this concentration change in the liquid. This freeezing point depression will be caused by any added solute and does depend on whether the heat of solution is positive, negative, or zero. (Melting point is an equilibrium property.)
