The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substan

Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.
Melting point
…always "the principle of observing the disappearance rather than the formation of ice, that is, the melting point." For most substances, melting and freezing points are approximately equal. For example, the melting and freezing points of mercury is 234.32 kelvins (−38.83 °C; −37.89 °F). However, certain…
