Why do ammonia has higher melting and boiling point than methane?

Ammonia (NH3) has hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces, whereas methane (CH4) does not. In addition, ammonia is polar, and so also has dipole-dipole forces and methane does not. Thus, it takes more energy (higher temperature) to boil and melt ammonia than it does methane.


Does ammonia have a higher boiling point than methane?

Yes, Boiling point of ammonia, NH3: - 33,34 0C Boiling poit of methane, CH4: - 161,6 0C


Why do ammonia has higher boiling point than methane in terms of intermolecular forces?

it doesn't


How melting and boiling points are affected by intermolecular forces?

The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point and boiling point. The weaker the intermolecular forces, the lower the melting and boiling points are.


What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?

The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.


How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?

The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.


Why fast rate of heating gives higher melting and boiling point than the true one?

Because the temperature is higher hence make the boiling and melting point higher.


Why does methane have a higher boiling point than Fluromethane?

Metahne does not have a higher boiling point than methane. Fluoromethane, CH3F, has a boiling point of 195K, -78.2C, methane, CH4, has a boiling point of 109K approx -164 C. I make that fluoromethane has a higher temeprature boiling point than methane. This is what you would expect, London dispersion forces will be greater in CH3F as it has more electrons than CH4. CH3F is polar and there will be dipole dipole interactions which will not be present in CH4.


Do nonmetals have higher melting points or lower boiling points?

lower melting points


Which substance has higher boiling point nitrogen fluoride or NH3?

Boiling point of NH3: -33,34 0C Boiling point of NF3: -129,1 0C The boiling point of ammonia is higher.


Do stronger intermolecular forces result in higher or lower boiling points?

An intermolecular force has both a boiling point and melting point


Why is diamond a unusual non metal?

non-metals have lower density, melting and boiling point but diamond has higher density, melting and boiling point.
