Where are the freezing points and melting points of substances?

They are the same thing. Most commonly the term melting point is used to describe the temperature at which a substance first co-exists in both a liquid and solid state. Freezing point is used usually to describe a substance that is usually liquid at room temperature, such as water. Conversely the term 'boiling point' refers to the first temperature at which the substance exists in both liquid and gaseous states.


Why buttersolid and mustard oil liquid at room temperature?

The difference in the physical states of butter and mustard oil at room temperature is due to their different compositions of fats and oils. Butter contains a higher proportion of saturated fats which are solid at room temperature, while mustard oil is mainly composed of unsaturated fats which are liquid at room temperature. The structure and arrangement of the fat molecules in each substance determine their physical state.


How do you know that particles in a gas have more energy than particles of same substance as a liquid or a solid?

We know that for any given substance, and at a given pressure, the gas phase exists at a higher temperature than the liquid phase, which exists at a higher temperature than the solid phase. And temperature measures heat energy per molecule or atom, hence, gas particles have more energy than particles of the same substance in their liquid or solid phase.
