DEF – ... The temperature at
which [the] crystals [of a pure
substance] are in equilibrium with
the liquid phase at atmospheric
pressure. The term "melting
point" (mp) is used when the
equilibrium temperature is
approached by heating the solid.
Ordinarily refers to temperature
above 0C, the melting point of
ice. Source

CONT – The melting point is the
temperature at which a solid
material becomes a liquid. The
freezing point is the temperature
at which a liquid material
becomes a solid. Usually one
value or the other is given on
MSDSs. Source

OBS – ... melting point and
freezing point are often used
interchangeably depending on
whether the substance is being
heated or cooled. Source

DEF – Température à laquelle,
sous une certaine pression, le
solide et le liquide sont en équilibre
