Its boiling point is 1330oC. All ionic compounds like potassium iodide have relatively high boiling points. To boil them, ionic bonds (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions) must be broken in order to separate the ions. These bonds are strong so lots of energy is required, hence high boiling points.

∙ 13y agoYes, it has strong enough Van Der Waals force present so Iodine can form a solid. But the energy required to break this bond is relatively weak, therefore has a low melting point.

∙ 11y agoSulfur has a high melting point. up to 113 degrees Celsius.

∙ 14y agosolid iodine also exists as I2 molecules which are held together through weak vander waal's forces so the melting point of iodine is very low.

Why does sulfur dioxide have low boiling point?
It has a low boiling point because it has weak intermolecular forces in its covalent bonds
Perfume liquids have a low or high boiling point?
They Have a low boiling point
Why does sulfur hexafluoride have a low boiling point?
because my anus is bleeding
Does chlorine have a high melting point low boiling point etc?
low melting point, it is a gas at room temperature....
What is the amount Difference between high sulfur and low sulfur diesel?
There is not a clear cutoff point between "high and Low sulfur diesel". Ultra low sulfur diesel ULSD is what is currently required for on road use. ULSD can contain no more than 15 ppm sulfur (15 micrograms sulfur per gram of fuel or 0.0015 wt.%). Low sulfur diesel would contain more sulfur than ULSD and high sulfur diesel more than low sulfur diesel.
