Melting and freezing points are the same because a substance at a certain point can either freeze or melt. If energy is taken away from the compound, it will freeze. On the other hand, if energy is added, it will melt. This energy is called the heat of fusion.

When solid changes into liquid?
Solids changing to liquids are melting Liquids changing to solids are freezing Solids changing to gas are subliming Liquids changing to gas are boiling Gases changing to liquids are condensing.
What are the freezing points of the elements on the periodic table?
Every metal has a different freezing point. Mercury has a freezing point well below zero, where Iron has a freezing point well above zero. It varies from substance to substance, and is again different from alloy to alloy. Note: Freezing points are usually called melting points.
Are freezing and melting point the same?
Yes the melting and freezing points are the same.
What is the tendency of a solute to change the melting point of a solid called?
The answer is "Freezing point depression" on Apex
Explain why the boiling point and the melting point can be used to help identify substances-?
It's because substances have different boiling point and freezing point. By finding the exact boiling point and freezing point, you can identify a substance. Keep in mind that a material's melting point is the same as its freezing point. These are just different terms for the same thing, it just depends on whether energy is being removed from a substance (freezing) or if energy is being added to a substance (melting). The same thing also applies to the boiling/condensation point.
What is the substances melting point the same as?
The freezing point is the same as the melting point, temperature-wise.
The freezing point is the same as what other point?
The freezing point is the same as the melting point.
What point is the same as the melting point?
The freezing point
What is the same as the melting point of mercury?
The freezing point of salt is also its freezing point. This is the case with any substance, as it is the temperature that an element changes from the solid to liquid phase or the liquid to solid phase.
Are melting and freezing point of Platinum are same?
Yes the melting temperature and the freezing temperature of materials are the same.
Are the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance different?
yes the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance is differ but in the case of water the melting and freezing point is same.
What freezing point of a substance is the same as its?
(Melting Point)
What is the freezing point of water is the same as?
Melting Point
The melting point of salt is the same as its?
Freezing point.
What is another name for the freezing point of a material?
Another name for freezing point is melting pointsince the temperature at which a substance freezes is also the temperature at which it melts, going in the other direction.Freezing point could also be referred to as congelation point.
The freezing point of water is the same as?
Melting Point...MoMMy.! :)
The temperature is the same at the melting point and the freezing point?
Yes
