Answer: The states of substances (solid, liquid, gas) at a given temperature can provide insight into their melting points. Substances that are solids at room temperature have higher melting points, above room temperature. Liquids have melting points below room temperature but above their freezing points. Gases have melting points below their boiling points and room temperature. Thus, the state of a substance at room temperature can help estimate its melting point relative to that temperature.
