How does the freezing point of a given type of matter compare to the melting point of that same type of matter? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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.
Liquids have a characteristic temperature at which they turn into solids, known as their freezingpoint. In theory, the meltingpoint of a solid should be the same as the freezingpoint of the liquid.
