They are the same thing. Most commonly the term melting point is used to describe the temperature at which a substance first co-exists in both a liquid and solid state.

Freezing point is used usually to describe a substance that is usually liquid at room temperature, such as water.

Conversely the term 'boiling point' refers to the first temperature at which the substance exists in both liquid and gaseous states.

If a substance forms crystals when it solidifies its melting and freezing points are the same?

Melting and freezing points are identical.


How are melting and freezing points similar in a chemical?

Melting and freezing points are both physical properties of a substance related to its phase change from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to solid (freezing) at a specific temperature. These points are the same temperature for a pure substance under constant pressure and can be used to identify and characterize substances.


Is 70 degrees Celsius in a melting or freezing point?

A temperature of 70 degrees Celsius is typically well above both the melting and freezing points of most common substances. For water, its melting point is 0 degrees Celsius and its freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius as well.


Where are the freezing points and melting points of gold?

Do liquids have melting points?

NO!!! However, on change of physical state;- solid to liquid it is 'melting' liquid to solid it is 'freezing' Similarly liquid to gas it is evaporation/boiling gas to liquid it is condensation. Different substances have different temperature for change of physical state. Water being the scientific standard has; - melting/freezing at 0oC boiling/evaporation at 100oC


Are melting points of molecular substances higher than those of ionic substance?

Ionic substances have higher melting points.


What is a temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid?

It matters what the object is. All substances have different melting/freezing points. (water is 32 degrees)


Is oxygen a melting or freezing point?

Your question cannot be answered as written. Melting/ freezing points are at the same temperatures.


Are freezing and melting points characteristic properties?

Yes, freezing and melting points are characteristic properties of a substance. They are specific temperatures at which a substance changes its state from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to solid (freezing) under normal atmospheric pressure.


How did you know freezing points?

If the substance is a liquid, cool it until it freezes. Record the temp while it is freezing, pure substances freeze at a distinct temperature, the freezing point. If it is a solid heat until it melts --- melting point = freezing point.


Are freezing and melting point the same?

Yes the melting and freezing points are the same.


What is the melting point Freezing point?

Freezing and melting points are synonyms: at this temperature a solid become a liquid or a liquid become a solid.
