The freezing point of carbon, also known as its melting point, is 3550 degrees Celsius or 6422 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, carbon transitions from a solid state to a liquid state. Carbon has a unique crystalline structure that allows it to exist in several different forms, including graphite and diamond, each with distinct properties and freezing points.

Ah, that's a wonderful question! Carbon doesn't have a freezing point in the same way that water does. Instead, it transitions directly from a solid to a gas in a process called sublimation. Isn't it fascinating how nature always finds unique ways to surprise us?

The Freezing point is ALWAYS the same as the melting point,even for different elements. 6,422 is its melting,and freezing point.

Same with gold,iron,hydrogen,and many others. Don't forget you can always come here to learn. ;)

Theoretically all matter can exist as either solid, liquid or gas. The change from one state, or phase to another depends on both temperature and pressure. AT normal pressure, around 101 kilopascals, water melts and boils at 0 and 100oC. The point at which solid, liquid and gas can all exist is called the triple point, the triple point for water is 273.16 kelvin (0.01oC) at and 612 pascals. The triple point for carbon is 4600 kelvin at a pressure of 10.8 megapascals (10.8 million pascals).

At normal atmospheric pressure, 101 kPa, carbon doesn't have a melting point; as it sublimes, goes from solid straight to gas without being liquid, at about 3900 kelvin. This means it is solid at higher temperatures than tungsten which melts at around 3700 kelvin.

Carbon does not have a freezing point because it does not exist in a liquid state at atmospheric pressure. Instead, it sublimes directly from solid to gas at a temperature of 3915°C.
