Answer
| Sl. No. | Melting point | Boiling point |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | The temperature at which a solid changes into liquid without further increase in temperature is called the melting point of solid. | The temperature at which a liquid changes into vapour without further increase in temperature is called the boiling point of the liquid. |
| 2. | Ice (solid) changes into water (liquid) at 0°C by absorbing heat. | Water (liquid) changes into steam (gas) at 100°C by absorbing heat. |
