The melting point is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid, reflecting the energy required to overcome the forces holding the solid's particles in place. It is a crucial physical property used to identify substances and assess purity, as impurities typically lower and broaden the melting range.

A physical property is a characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical identity. These properties are crucial for identifying and classifying materials, and they include aspects such as color, density, mass, and volume.

Impurities are foreign substances within a material that can affect its properties and performance. They can be introduced during manufacturing, handling, or storage and may impact the material's chemical, physical, or biological characteristics.
