Question

What is the melting point of the solid?

Answer 1

The melting point of a solid can be understood by:

1. A certain amount of temperature must be supplied to a substance so that it changes from the solid state to the liquid state.
2. The temperature at which the substance changes its state from solid to liquid is the melting point of that substance.
3. For example, ice melts at 0^oC, hence melting point of ice is 0^oC.

Hence, the melting point of the solid is the temperature at which it changes from solid to liquid.
