Freezing Point of Different Liquids
The freezing point of a liquid is the temperature at which it transitions from a liquid state to a solid state. At this temperature, the liquid’s molecules lose enough thermal energy to form a stable, ordered structure characteristic of a solid.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of melting/freezing point values for different liquids at 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
