Difference between boiling and melting

Boiling

Melting

The process in which liquid is gets converted into gaseous state is called boiling. The process in which the solid gets converted into the liquid is called melting.
In the process of Boiling liquid changes into gaseous state. In the process of melting solid state get converted into liquid.
Boiling leads to bubble formation in the liquid. There is no bubble formation.
Boiling is slow process . But it is dependent over the heating source. It is a slow process than boiling because it occurs generally on room temperature
The temperature of the liquid does not reduced in boiling it remains constant. While the solid state changes into liquid state the temperaturemay increase.
Boiling is the process which continues till the internal and external temperature remains equal. Melting continue till the substance totally melts if the external temperature remains unchanged.
Boiling occurs after the Evaporation of liquid starts. Melting starts when temperature increases from the freezing point of solid.
Boiling need a strong heating source like lamp, stove etc. Melting need Mostlyan room temperature. Some solids may needs more heat to melt.
Example for boiling – water has the boiling point 100°c . It starts boiling when we place it over the stove. Example for melting –cube Of ice melts at    + 0°c. As the temperature increases from 0°c the ice cube starts melting.
