Melting point

• The strength of intermolecular forces in a solid determines its melting point.
• When a material melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid.
• When solids are heated, their particles gain energy and start to move more quickly.
• The melting point of ice is 0'C
• Different scientists have invented different temperature scales.
• WE mostly measure temperature in Celsius. On this scale, ice melt at 0'C and water boils at 100'C.
