Yes, elements have fixed melting points; but some exceptions are with the elements having allotropes (as carbon, sulfur, phosphorous, etc.) - each allotrope has a specific melting point.
mixture has varialble boiling and melting points, compound has a fixed boiling and melting and elements also have fixed boiling and melting point
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Magnesium sulfate has a high melting and boiling point, as it is made of Ionic bonds which are very strong. A lot of energy is needed to break them. So ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. See related link for more information.
Boiling point 58.78°C Melting point 7.2°C
The melting point of silicon is 1683 K. The boiling point of silicon is 2628 K.
Because they are not pure compounds !
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
Thermally unstable compounds are decomposed before melting or boiling.
compounds are identified because each compound have characteristically different melting and boiling points.
Example: compounds that are thermally decomposed before a supposed melting or boiling point.
Electrovalent compounds have high melting and boiling points as they are held by very strong electrostatic force of attraction making the compound stable and therefore they require a lot of energy to break.
high boiling point low melting point
The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.
It is not possible; filtration as a separating method is based on the difference between boiling points.
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point and boiling point. The weaker the intermolecular forces, the lower the melting and boiling points are.
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds do. The electronegativity difference in ionic compounds makes their bond much stronger.
A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.
