When you melt something, for instance an ice cube, you are suppling enough heat energy to break intermolecular bonds between molecules so there are enough free molecules to change state. When you freeze water, you are cooling it down enough so that the molecules stop moving enough for intermolecular forces to have an effect, essentially holding the molecules in a structure that, to the eye, is ice.
Freezing is the transition from liquid to solid (heat is being lost from the system). Melting is the transition from solid to liquid (heat is being gained by the system)
What else can I help you with?
What are the differences between freezing melting and evaporation?
Changing the liquid state to solid state is known as freezing, changing from solid state to liquid state is known as melting and changing from liquid or solid state to gaseous state is known as evaporation.
What word means the opposite of melting?
freezing,solidifying
What is its melting point when the freezing point of a substance is 68C?
The freezing point is 680C
Why is melting and freezing at the same temperature but not for boiling and condensation?
Melting and freezing occur at the same temperature because they involve the same phase change between solid and liquid states. In contrast, boiling and condensation involve different phase changes between liquid and gas states, resulting in different temperatures due to the energy differences required to break intermolecular bonds and change states.
How does melting differ from freezing?
Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid when heat is added, while freezing is the opposite process where a liquid turns into a solid when heat is removed. Melting occurs at the melting point of a substance, while freezing occurs at the freezing point.
What is the difference between melting and the freezing point?
The melting point is the temperature the item melts. The freezing piont is the temperature in whic the object freezes.
Is boiling the reverse of freezing?
no it is not melting is the reverse of freezing
What is the difference between a freezing and melting point?
When solid start to turn into liquid its melting point. When liquid start turning into solid its freezing point.
What are the differences between freezing melting and evaporation?
Changing the liquid state to solid state is known as freezing, changing from solid state to liquid state is known as melting and changing from liquid or solid state to gaseous state is known as evaporation.
Is endothermic melting or freezing?
Melting is endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.
What is the relationship between a substance's melting point and freezing point?
is the same
What word means the opposite of melting?
freezing,solidifying
What is the difference of melting and freezing?
When solid is converted into liquid then it is melting and when liquid is converted into sold it is freezing although Melting and Freezing point for a substance is the same.
What is the name of the change from liquid to solid or the reverse of melting?
a liquid to a solid is called the melting point:-)
Are these chimichel changes melting malting point freezing?
No. Melting and freezing are physical changes. Melting point is a physical property.
How is melting different then freezing?
Melting is from 'solid to liquid', freezing is from liquid changing to solid state
What are the three important things to know about freezing and melting?
1. Substances don't have to be cold to freeze.2. Phase is a relationship between particles.3. Freezing temperature equals to the melting temperature.Hope this helped.
