2. Melting is defined as the process of conversion of solid into liquid. 2. Freezing is defined as the change of state of a liquid into a solid.
3. It occurs when heat is supplied to the system. 3. Freezing occurs when heat is removed from the liquid.
4. For example, conversion of ice into water. 4. For example, conversion of water into ice.
