Which has a higher melting point Sodium Chloride or Ethyl Alcohol?
Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.
What has the higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
aluminum oxide : Al2O3
Which would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride NaCI or aluminum oxide AI203?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2 072 0C.

Why is the melting point of sulfur higher than that of phosphorus?
Although they are both molecular structures, sulfur exists as S8 while phosphorus exists as P4. Sulfur has more electrons, therefore also has more Van Der Waals forces, than phosphorus. This means that it will require more heat energy to overcome these forces, causing it have a higher melting point.
Does salt have a higher or lower melting point than Na or Cl?
Common table salt (sodium chloride) has a much higher melting point than either sodium or chlorine.
How does forming a bond between sodium and Chloride affect the melting point of sodium chloride?
The ionic bonding in sodium chloride is much stronger than the internal bonding in either element that forms sodium chloride; therefore, the melting point of the salt is much higher than that of either element that forms the salt.
Why is the melting point of sodium chloride is much higher than that of aluminium tetrachloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound whereas AlCl3 is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds have greater melting point due to stronger electrostatic force of attraction.
Why does sulfur have a higher melting point than phosphorus?
Sulfur is a larger molecule. It hence experiences greater Van der Waal's force.
Who has higher melting points ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds have higher melting points than covalent compounds. Common table salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic compound and has a melting point of 801 oC. Table sugar, sucrose, a covalent compound, has a melting point of about 186 oC.
Why does calcium oxide have a higher melting point than sodium chloride?
CaO - the attraction between a 2+ and a 2- ion is much stronger than between a + and a -.
Does CaO or CS2 have a higher melting point?
CaO has a higher melting point.
