- Congruent melting
-
Congruent melting occurs during melting of a compound when the composition of the liquid that forms is the same as the composition of the solid. It can be contrasted with incongruent melting.
The "congruent melting point" is the melting point (the pressure and temperature) when the composition of the liquid formed is the same as the composition of the solid.[1]
