उत्तर
MELTING POINT:
The temperature at which a solid starts changing into LIQUID without further increase in temperature is called MELTING POINT.” Or The constant temperature at which solid changes into liquid.”
Example: Ice (solid) melts at 0°C into water (liquid) when heated.
BOILING POINT :
“The temperature at which a LIQUID start changing in vapour without a further rise in temperature.
Or
‘The constant temperature at which a LIQUID starts changing into GAS (vapours)
Example: Boiling point of water (liquid) is 100°C.
