Is the boiling point of something the same as the melting point?

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is also the condensation point.
The freezing point is the temperature at which liquid and solid coexist in equilibrium. It is also the melting point.

∙ 16y agoYes. It is commonly called the Triple Point. It only occurs at a special combination of the temperature and pressure.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoNo, but the freezing point and melting point of a substance are the same.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoThe boiling point is when a substance changes from liquid to gas and the melting point is when substance goes from a solid to a liquid
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo. The freezing point is more commonly known as melting point and is usually a lot lower than the boiling point.

Are melting and boiling points of a substance the same?
The melting and boiling points of a substance (in this case I am assuming you are referring to a pure substance, and not a mixture), are the same. The triple point is defined by the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and vapor of a substance, can coexist in equilibrium. At any pressure below the triple point, only sublimation and condensation are possible (no liquid phase is possible). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, there is a difference between the melting and boiling points, of a substance. The melting point temperature will be lower than the boiling point. At the critical point, the densities of the liquid and vapor phases, have merged, and boiling no longer occurs. At and above the critical point, you cease to get liquid and vapor, but you get what is referred to as a "supercritical fluid".
For any pure substance the boiling point and melting point will always remain?
The melting point and the boiling point of a substance are physical characteristics for each substance and are unchanged at the same pressure.
What is the substances melting point the same as?
The freezing point is the same as the melting point, temperature-wise.
Are the properties of chlorine the same as the properties of sodium chloride?
The properties of chlorine are highly different from sodium chloride one of the differences is the boiling point. Chlorine has a melting point of 171.6 K whereas sodium chloride has a melting point of 1074 K.
What is silicons freezing point?
If this is helpful, it's listed melting point is 1683K 1410°C 2570°FIt's listed boiling point is 2628K 2355°C 4271°F
Is melting point the same as its boiling point?
No. The boiling point is higher temp. than the melting point. When something is melted, it becomes liquid: when something is boiled, it begins to become vapor.
Do all liquids have the same boiling and melting point?
No. The melting and boiling points of liquids vary considerably.
Is freezing boiling or melting most affected by pressure?
Boiling point is most affected by pressure. Note that freezing point and melting point are in fact the same.
Is boiling point higher than melting point?
they are the same... dont know who wrote this but it can be the same such as dry ice, or different such as water. however boiling point will sometimes be higher than melting point
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 boiling point is always same as the melting point?
NO!!! Boiling point is the temperature when a liquid changes to a gas. Melting point is the temperature when a solid changes to a liquid. Remember For rising temperatures It melts then boils For falling temperatures It condenses then freezes. Melting/Freezing point is the same temperature for change of state solid/liquid Boiling/Condensing point is the same temperature for change of state liquid/gas
How can information about the melting point and boiling point of matter help you know its states?
If the temperature is below the melting point, you know it is in the solid state. If the temperature is below the boiling point, and above the melting point, you know it is a liquid. If the temperature is above the boiling point, you know it is a gas, etc. (Note: melting point is the same as freezing point).
What are the boiling and melting points of Yttrium?
The boiling point of Yttrium is 3609 K (3336oC or 6037oF). (3336 °C, 6037 °F)
Why is the melting and boiling point of carbon dioxide the same -78degree?
They aren't the same. The boiling point of carbon dioxide is -57 oC. (Wikipedia)

Why are the melting point and boiling point of the same matter different?
Boiling point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a gas, while melting point is the temperature at which a substance turns into a liquid state from a solid state. The boiling point is always a higher temperature then the melting point. The melting point has a substance turn into a liquid from solid, and boiling point has a liquid turn into a gas.
What is an example of freezing point?
The freezing point is the same thing as the melting point and the example for oxygen is <-361 degrees Fahrenheit.
