What is the melting point of benzoin?

The melting point of benzoin, written as C14H12O2, is 269.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Its boiling point is 651.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Standard listings of melting and boiling points of a substance assume standard temperature and pressure conditions, defined as 68 degrees Fahrenheit and one standard atmosphere unit.

When a substance passes its melting point, its state of matter changes from a solid to a liquid. The heat increases the kinetic energy of the particles, which changes the way that the particles attract to one another, allowing the substance to take a different form. The melting point may also be referred to as the freezing point.
