Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature at which a solid melts, known as its melting point is highly characteristic of a compound and element.

The melting point of pure substances, compounds and elements is definite and not varied.

  • Melting point is an intensive property of matter.
  • It does not depend on the amount of matter present.
  • It is an innate or intrinsic property of every matter.
  • For example, no matter the volume or mass of water, it will always boil at 100°C, all things being equal.

Therefore, melting point of most solids is characteristic of compounds and elements.
