answ2, Essentially all the components of air may be frozen into a solid at low temperatures. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Argon, Neon all have freezing points. Helium (only a trace gas in the air) does not freeze.

A1. Air does not have a melting point. It cannot melt or freeze. But that all depends on the chemical composition. For example, if the air your talking about is just water vapor, then it can evaporate and condense. But air itself cannot freeze or melt, therefore it does not have a melting point.

Air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Since these gases have different melting points and air is a combination of them, it does not have a single melting point. The concept of melting point applies to substances that exist in a solid state.

How can information about the melting point and boiling point of matter help you know its states?

If the temperature is below the melting point, you know it is in the solid state. If the temperature is below the boiling point, and above the melting point, you know it is a liquid. If the temperature is above the boiling point, you know it is a gas, etc. (Note: melting point is the same as freezing point).

What is important of melting point?

Knowing the melting point of a substance provides information to determine what the substance is if its unknown. If you are making a substance, checking the melting point will let you know if you have made what you set out to make, (because impurities can mess up the melting point)

What is wrong in choosing the melting point and the boiling point of water as standard fixed point?

The melting and boiling points of water change as the air pressure changes. For example, there is a certain air pressure in which steam, water and ice will stay like that forever.
