Which of th e following usually have lower melting points than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds, molecular solids, and metallic solids typically have lower melting points than ionic solids. Covalent compounds consist of molecules held together by weaker van der Waals forces, while molecular solids are composed of discrete molecules that interact through intermolecular forces. Metallic solids, while having variable melting points, often do not reach the high melting points characteristic of ionic solids due to their bonding nature.
When solids reach their melting points they become what?
When solids reach their melting points, they become liquids. This is the point at which the intermolecular forces holding the solid together are overcome, allowing the particles to move more freely and flow as a liquid.
When you reach the temperature of what point you become a liquid.?
melting
When you reach the temperatures of the point you become a liquid?
melting point. :)
What melting point do you reach to become a liquid?
Each substance has a specific melting point (excepting cases of sublimation or thermal degradation).
Which metals can you boil with a Bunsen flame?
Metals like aluminum, gold, and silver have relatively high melting points and cannot be boiled with a Bunsen flame, as their melting points are much higher than the temperature a Bunsen flame can reach. Metals like lead and tin have lower melting points and can be boiled with a Bunsen flame.
Elements in the compound are heated until they what?
Elements in a compound are heated until they reach their melting or boiling points, depending on the desired outcome. Heating a compound can break chemical bonds, allowing the elements to separate from each other in the form of gases, liquids, or solids.
What is the boiling point of a solid?
The boiling point refers to the temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a gas phase. Solids do not have a boiling point, as they transition directly from a solid to a gas through a process called sublimation.
Can all liquids become a solid?
Nope. There are some solids that go directly into the gas phase. Such a process is called sublimation. ans2 No. Some solids chemically decompose when heated. You can't get liquid wood. Some solids turn directly into a gas when heated at standard atmospheric pressure. An example of this is dry ice. I believe that some solids, do not ask me but this is a theory that I can't prove, but some solids have such a high melting point that if heated to its melting point the molicules will become so unstable that the solid would accualy blow up before the period of melting can occur. Although have fun trying to find something on earth that can reach that heat output. One example that comes to mind is diamond. I do not believe diamond has ever melted? Correct me if im wrong.
What does a solid have to reach in order to become a liquid?
A solid becomes a liquid when it temperature has reached its Melting Point (also called it Point of Fusion.)
When rocks return to the earths mantle they can eventually melt and become magma what are the main factors that control this change?
The main factors that control the melting of rocks and their transformation into magma in the Earth's mantle include temperature, pressure, and the presence of fluids. As rocks descend into the mantle, increasing temperatures can cause them to reach their melting points. Additionally, higher pressures can raise the melting point of rocks, while the introduction of water and other volatiles can lower the melting point, facilitating the melting process. These factors work together to influence the formation of magma from solid rocks in the mantle.
What happens to most solids as they are heated?
As most solids are heated, their particles gain energy and vibrate more rapidly, causing the solid to expand. At higher temperatures, the particles may have enough energy to break free from their fixed positions, leading to a phase transition into a liquid or gas.
