At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), pure water ice melts and changes state from a solid to a liquid (water); 32°F (0°C) is the melting point. For most substances, the melting and freezing points are about the same temperature.
Is Melting Point affected by temperature?
Melting point, the temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
Because this classification contrasts with that of crystalline solids whose atoms are arranged in a regular and orderly fashion forming crystalline networks.
If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.
