Melting Point

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find the exact moment when your ice cream starts to melt on a hot day. This is similar to the concept of a melting point, where a solid changes into a liquid at a specific temperature. Just as the sun's heat provides enough energy to overcome the structure of the ice cream, causing it to melt, a substance reaches its melting point when the temperature provides enough energy to break the bonds holding its solid structure together, allowing it to become a liquid.
