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.
Do nonmetals have higher melting points or lower boiling points?
lower melting points
Why can't iodine be used to displace bromine from sodium bromide?
Iodine is lower in the halogen displacement series than bromine, i.e., iodine is less electronegative than bromine. However both chlorine and fluorine can displace bromine in sodium bromide, as they are more electronegative.
Why is diamond a unusual non metal?
non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
Which atomic groups tend to go from lower to higher melting points reading from top to bottom?
Group 3
Why Does Chlorine or Silicon have a higher melting point?
the further one moves down the periods, the melting point decreases. since sillicon is placed before chlorine, chlorine has lower melting point.
Does potassium have a higher atomic number than chlorine and a lower atomic number than bromine?
yes
What element is in group 1a and higher atomic number than chlorine but lower number than bromine?
Potassium
This element is in group 1 and has a higher atomic number than chlorine but a lower atomic number than bromine?
potato
How does melting point of bromine change with external pressure?
Bromine, as many other materials gets a higher melting point when pressure is low [less energy is needed to set molecules free] and lower melting point when pressure is high [more energy needed].
Does bromine have a lower boiling point than chlorine?
No, chlorine has a lower boiling point than bromine. Bromine has a boiling point of 332.0 K (58.8 °C, 137.8 °F) Chlorine has a boiling point of 239.11 K (-34.4 °C, -29.27 °F) I have been assigned a homework assignment to the purpose of explaining why this is, although I have no clue... yet. The reason for this is that the London Dispersion Force in Bromine is higher than that of Chlorine. London Dispersion Force depends on the polarizability which consists of two parts: number of electrons in each of these two diatomic molecules and the diffuse cloud (which mainly is the size of the molecule). Because Bromine has more electrons than Chlorine (35 to 17) and Bromine is larger than Chlorine (Period 4 > Period 3). Because of the above, Bromine has higher intermolecular force, London Dispersion Force specifically than Chlorine. Thus, it requires more energy to break the bonds between Bromine molecules than Chlorine molecules. In term of thermodynamics, Bromine has higher boiling point than Chlorine.

What element in group one has a higher atomic number than chlorine but lower atomic number than bromine?
It could be potassium(K)
This element is in group 1 and has a higher atomic than chlorine but a lower atomic number than bromine?
Examination of a Periodic Table shows that the element is potassium.

Why does chlorine have a higher boiling point than krypton?
To determine why chlorine's melting point (-100.98) is higher than krypton's melting point (-157.2), you must look at the electron configuration of the elements. 36Kr: [Ar]4s23d104p6, and 17Cl: [Ne]3s23p5. There is a trend in the periodic table that states that elements with paired electrons in the electron orbitals will have extremely low melting points (why all noble-gases have low melting points). So since krypton is a noble-gas, it has every electron orbital filled, forming an octet, therefore having a lower melting point. Chlorine, has a 3p5 orbital and therefore not completing the octet, or paired p-orbital, therefore having a higher melting point.
Do nonmetals have higher melting points or lower boiling points?
lower melting points
