Differentiate between melting and boiling of a substance.
Melting Point | Boiling Point |
The temperature at which a solid changes to liquid at one atmospheric pressure is called its melting point. | The temperature at which a liquid starts boiling at one atmospheric pressure is called its boiling point. |
The higher the force of attraction among the particles of the solid, the higher will be its melting point. | The higher the forces of attraction among the particles of the liquid higher will be its boiling point. |
On adding impurities to a solid , the melting point decreases | On adding impurities to a liquid, the boiling point of the liquid increases. |
Melting point of ice is 0C | The boiling point of water is 100 C. |
