The transition from a solid state to a liquid state.
Melting point
apparatus
Melting point/temperature
Equipment allowing a broad range of temperatures to be generated in order to measure the melting temperatures of chemical compounds with the help of a thermometer or a Kofler Hot Stage microscope.
Comparison with known compounds whose melting temperatures are known absolutely can lead to the identification of unknown compounds.
The temperature at which a solid changes phase to give a liquid is known as the melting point or melting temperature.
Before the melting point:
After the melting point:
