Nonpolar substances have lower melting and boiling points than polar substances because their particles are not attracted to each other like polar molecules are. They tend to be gases at room temperature (CO2, CH4, O2, etc). Not much heat is reguired to separate non-polar molecules from one another

What is the use Boiling tube?

Boiling tubes are used to heat substances to extreme temperatures. Boiling tubes are almost twice the size of regular test tubes. They are designed to allow substances to violently boil without boiling over or exploding out.


Is it possible to boil water in negative temperatures?

No, it is not possible to boil water in negative temperatures because boiling occurs at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above freezing temperatures.


Why is it easy to boil methane?

methane has rediculously low IMF's or Inter-Molecular Forces. basicly, the pull between the molecules are so weak, that it takes reletivly little energy to transform it from one state to another. (i wanna see methane plasma xD)


Can you boil water in a crockpot?

No, a crockpot is not designed to boil water. It is meant for slow cooking at low temperatures.


Why do the fractions separate at different temperatures?

Because they have different chemical properties and boil at different temperatures


Why methanol boil at high temperature than dimethyl ether?

bcoz of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl alcohol the vapour pressure of the molecule equalises the atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures. there is no hydrogen bonding in dimethyl ether and hence the molecule escapes at relatively lower temperatures.

What temperatures does polonium boil at?

The boiling point of polonium is 962 0C.


What boils at what degree Celsius?

This question is too vague to answer: many different substances boil at many different degrees Celsius. In fact the same substance can be made to boil at different temperatures by changing the pressure acting on it.


How would you separate liquids if two liquids boil at different temperatures?

Distillation.


Why can't liquid boil at a low pressure?

Liquids can boil at low pressure, and in fact do so at lower temperatures than when the pressure is high.


Why do different liquids boil at different temperatures?

These liquids have different chemical composition and structure.
