Why is density of liquid at melting point nearly same as density of solids at melting point?

Though freezing point and melting point mark same temperature (0°C or 32°F), state of change is different for the two points. At freezing point liquid gets converted into solid, whereas...

A) same l value and same n value

The solid particles possess potential energy due to the interatomic forces that hold the particles together at some mean fixed positions. Hence, solids have definite shape and volume.

1. On heating, the atoms/molecules in liquid gain kinetic energy and temperature of the liquid increases. 2. If liquid is continued to heat further, at the boiling point, the constituents overcome...

(i) The triple point of water has been assigned a fixed value of 273.15 K. This number represents a unique value associated with a unique condition of temperature and pressure...

1. In method of mixtures, solid sample gives away heat to liquid, and heat exchange between, solid, liquid and calorimeter is considered as isolated. 2. If density of solid sample is...

B) the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid

A) Density of the object/density of water

 B) \(\cfrac{density \,of \,object}{density \,of \,water}\)

 C) \(\cfrac{weight\,of\,the\,liquid}{weight\,of\,same\,volume\,of\,water}\)
