Question

What is the difference between melting and boiling point

Answer 1

THE TEMP AT WHICH,THE SOLID MELTS TO,FORM LIQUID AT ATMOSPHERIC TEMP IS CALLED MELTING POINT EX MP OF WAX IS 63C
BOILING POINT
THE TEMP AT WHICH THE LIQUIDS BOILS TO FORM GAS AT ATMOSPHERIC TEMP IS CALLED BP
EX BP OF WATER IS 100 C
d/w melting occurs at 0*c and boiling occurs at 100 c in case of water
in boiling latent heat of vaporisation is given and during melting latent heat of fusion

Answer 2

Melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change. When all the solid has melted, additional heat will raise the temperature of the liquid. The melting temperature of crystalline solids is a characteristic figure and is used to identify pure compounds and elements. Most mixtures and amorphous solids melt over a range of temperatures.It temperature is 0°c

A liquid boils at a temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it. The lower the pressure of a gas above a liquid, the lower the temperature at which the liquid will boil.The temperature is 00°c
