What else can I help you with?
Why is the melting point of sodium chloride is much higher than that of aluminium tetrachloride?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound whereas AlCl3 is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds have greater melting point due to stronger electrostatic force of attraction.
Why would the melting point of a molecular compound generally be lower than an ionic compound?
The ionic bond is stronger.
Why is a melting ionic compound a better conductor than a solid ionic compound?
A melting ionic compound allows ions to move freely within the liquid, increasing conductivity. In contrast, in a solid ionic compound, ions are fixed in a lattice structure and cannot move as easily, reducing conductivity.
Why is water lower than the melting point of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.
Why NaCl has high melting point?
Because it is a ionic compound.
How do you determine the type of compound ionic or molecular from the melting point such as 1240 degrees C?
If the melting point is at 1240 degrees C then it is most likely an ionic compound, because ionic compounds have their melting points above 800 degrees C while the molecular compounds have their melting point at or below room temperature.
What is the relationship between the chemical bond type and melting point of a compound?
The type of chemical bonds in a compound can influence its melting point. Compounds with stronger bonds, such as ionic or network covalent bonds, tend to have higher melting points due to the greater amount of energy required to break these bonds. Compounds with weaker bonds, such as metallic or molecular bonds, typically have lower melting points.
Is low melting pointing a typical property of ionic compound?
No. Ionic compounds are high melting, examples: NaCl 8010C, CaBr2, 7300C; Li2O 15700C)
Is a solid with a melting point of 800 degrees Celsius ionic or molecular?
The melting point of a compound cannot determine the bonding structure. As an example, both diamond and sodium chloride have higher melting points than 800 centigrade but are covalent and ionic compounds respectively.
You are given the melting points of three unknown substances and are asked to predict which one is an ionic compound You would select the compound with the?
Highest melting point. (Note that this does not assure that the remaining compounds are not also ionic.)
Why is it sodium chloride have the highest melting temperature?
Why is it sodium chloride have the highest melting temperature
Is A compound with a high melting point ionic or covalent?
A compound with a high melting point is more likely to be ionic rather than covalent. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions, resulting in high melting points. Covalent compounds typically have lower melting points because they are held together by weaker intermolecular forces.
