The range between onset and clear point is recorded and then the average of the two is the melting point, or, one can give the range, e.g. : 135-136℃.
Minerals with higher melting points will increase the overall melting point of a rock. Conversely, minerals with lower melting points will decrease the overall melting point. The composition and proportion of minerals in a rock will determine its melting point.
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.
The three elements that have lower melting points than calcium (which has a melting point of about 842°C) are sodium (melting point 97.8°C), potassium (melting point 63.5°C), and magnesium (melting point 650°C). Sodium and potassium are alkali metals, known for their low melting points, while magnesium, though a metal, also has a relatively lower melting point compared to calcium.
The melting point can help a scientist identify a substance.
Melting points: 386.85 K, 113.7 °C, 236.66 °F Boiling points: 457.4 K, 184.3 °C, 363.7 °F
The melting point of 3727 is not clear as it is provided without a unit of measurement. Typically, melting points are given in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. If referring to degrees Celsius, a melting point of 3727 degrees Celsius would represent a very high temperature.
Minerals with higher melting points will increase the overall melting point of a rock. Conversely, minerals with lower melting points will decrease the overall melting point. The composition and proportion of minerals in a rock will determine its melting point.
Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.
the melting points differ to differant solids
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.

Boiling Point 27.07 K Melting Point 24.56 K
Pure substances have very specific melting (and boiling) points. Assuming the substance is pure you could measure the melting point and compare it to a known database of melting points.
helium cannot exist as solid and thus has no melting point
False, all minerals DO NOT have the same melting point
