Human: Is there a way to determine the melting point of a metal by using a thermometer? Assistant: 
Yes, there are several ways to determine the melting point of a metal. A simple method is to use a thermometer and measure the temperature at which the metal begins to melt. You can also use an instrument called a pyrometer to measure the temperature at which the metal changes from solid to liquid. Additionally, you can calculate the melting point of a metal based on its atomic structure.
