The definition of a boiling point is that temperature where a liquids turns to a gas. A solid would need to become liquid to discern it's boiling point.

Is the temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid the solid's boiling point?

No, it is the melting point. Ice changes to water when it melts, not when it boils.


Is lithium a solid at boiling point?

No. Solids do not boil, but they may sublime, which is when a solid goes directly into the gas phase without melting first. However, lithium does not sublime. Its melting point is 180.54 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is 1342 degrees Celsius. So lithium is a liquid before reaching its boiling point.


Will a liquid turn to gas at its freezing point?

Short difference between melting and boiling point?

Melting point is the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid state, while boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from liquid to gas state. Melting occurs when the intermolecular forces holding solids together are overcome, whereas boiling involves the breaking of intermolecular forces within the liquid to form a gas.
