sodium oxide: 1132oC
magnesium oxide: 2852oC
Sodium has a melting point of 97.72 oC and rubidium has a melting point of 39.48 oC.
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of phosphorus trichloride is -93,6 0C.
Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.
Common table salt (sodium chloride) has a much higher melting point than either sodium or chlorine.
Because there are a higher amount of delocalised electrons.
The melting point of the subtance depends on how strong the bonds are and every metal has a different melting point because of it.
Lower.
aluminum oxide : Al2O3
Sodium chloride has a higher boiling point.
The boiling point of magnesium is at 1 090 0C.
Melting point is dependant upon packing and intermolecular forces. Magnesium and Sodium are both metals, and therefore have metallic bonding. Both are a lattice of positively charged ions surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. Magnesium however has 2 delocalized electrons for every one magnesium atom, it therefore forms smaller ions than Sodium, which pack more closely together. The higher number of delocalized electrons in magnesium also pull the positively charged even closer together.
An antacid contains hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium, bicarbonates of calcium and sodium.
