- Melting point change. ^.^
When heating a solid to its melting point, the molecules in the solid began to move and slide past one another becoming a liquid.
The melting point is lowered.
Melting point is a physical property, not a change.

solidifying or freezing, releasing energy to the environment.
That is possible when there is a change of state. For example, if you have ice at its melting point, or a mixture of ice and water at its melting point, if you add heat, the energy will be used to melt the ice, not to increase the temperature.
melting point
The melting point of ice decreases when salt is added.
Bromine, as many other materials gets a higher melting point when pressure is low [less energy is needed to set molecules free] and lower melting point when pressure is high [more energy needed].
At a substance's melting point, none of the energy added goes into raising the temperature any more and all of it goes into breaking the bonds that hold the molecules in a solid so close and rigid. Energy added could come from a stove, for example. All of this energy goes into making the solid looser and breaking the bonds between the molecules so that the solid can become a liquid.
