How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
a lower melting point
Do ionic bonds melt at a low melting point?
No. They have very high melting points because they are extremely strong. This is because of the transfer of electrons between the atoms in the bond. Molecular generally have low melting points.
Do simple molecular substances have high or low melting and boiling points?
Yes, molecular solids have relatively low melting points.
How compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
What are the properties of molecular compound?
Molecular compounds generally do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
a lower melting point

Compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be .?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
How compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Are melting points of molecular substances higher than those of ionic substance?
Ionic substances have higher melting points.
Which type of compound has the lower melting points - ionic or molecular Why?
The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the inter molecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound.
Do metals melt easily?
If easily means at low temperatures then no, ionic compounds generally have a higher melting point than most compounds except for those with hydrogen bonding and network covalent bonding which have higher melting points generally.
What has lower melting points than ionic solids?
Molecular solids
