Ko te huringa o tētahi totoka hei wē, mā te whakawera. He rerekē te pae rewa o tēnā totoka, o tēnā. Ko te kore tākiri tohurau (0°C) te pae rewa o te tio (arā, o te wai totoka). Koirā anō hoki te pae whakatoka o te wai. Ko te 57° te pae rewa o te harare. Ko te 1,064° te pae rewa o te kōura (Au). Nā te kaha pipiri o ngā ngota o ngā konganuku i teitei ai ngā pae rewa.
A change of state from a solid to a liquid by heating. Different solids have different melting points. The melting point of ice is zero degrees Celcius (0°C). This is the same as the freezing point of water. The melting point of wax is 57°, and the melting point of gold (Au) is 1,064°. The strong attraction between the atoms of a metal gives rise to their high melting points.
