Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The melting point is the temperature at which a solid is converted into a liquid, and the boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure surrounding the liquid is equal to the vapour pressure. Metals have high melting and boiling points. This is because they form lattice structures which need a high amount of energy to break down.
The corrected statement would be “Metals have high melting and boiling points”.
