What usually has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
What usually has a lower melting points than the ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower 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.
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
Compared With the Melting Point Of Ionic Compounds The Melting Points Of Molecular Solids Tend To Be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
What have a lower melting points than ionic solids?
Covalent solids generally have lower melting points than ionic solids. This is because covalent solids are made up of discrete molecules held together by relatively weak intermolecular forces, whereas ionic solids are made up of ions held together by strong electrostatic forces. The weaker intermolecular forces in covalent solids require less energy to overcome, resulting in 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.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
a lower melting point
Why do ionic solids have high melting point?
This is because ionic bonds are very strong, so it takes a lot of heat energy to break up the lattice and form a liquid. In fact all ionic substances are solid at room temperature.
Why would the melting point of a molecular compound generally be lower than an ionic compound?
The ionic bond is stronger.
How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
What is one property of covalent compounds?
For example the melting point is lower compared with ionic compounds.Also the hardness is lower.
