Question

How does the freezing point of a given type of matter compare to the melting point of that same type of matter?                                                                                                       A)The freezing point is lower. B)They are both higher than the boiling point. C)The melting point is lower. D)They are the same.

Answer 1

Liquids have a characteristic temperature at which they turn into solids, known as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid.
