They're the same thing -
it just depends on which direction (of temperature change) you're interested in.
These terms are synonyms.
The term "melting point" is used to describe the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid. The term "freezing point" is used to describe the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid.
Melting (freezing) point: the temperature when the solid metal become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature when the liquid metal become a gas.
melting point and/or freezing point (they mean the same thing/are the same temperature)
It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.
Melting and freezing are the correct terms for this phase change.
Yes. Melting point is changing from a solid to liquid & freezing point is changing from a liquid to a solid. Both occur at the same temperature & these terms are usually used interchangably, although melting point is probably used more often than freezing point.
The heat of fusion and melting point are closely related concepts in thermodynamics. The melting point is the specific temperature at which a solid transitions to a liquid, while the heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at that melting point, without changing its temperature. Essentially, the heat of fusion is the energy needed to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, allowing it to melt at the defined melting point.

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.
Usually when talking of metals, the point at which silver transitions between states of solid and liquid is called the melting point rather than the freezing point, because of how high these temperatures usually are. For Silver, this temperature is 1763.2 Fahrenheit, or 961.78 Celcius.
