Potassium includes for the first group of the Periodic Table while we call them as Alkaline metals.Consider the term metals.Although those elemants are Alkaline,dont forget that they are also consist with metalic properties.So we all know that metal elemants contain metalic bonds where atoms of that particular elemant have bathed in a free electron ocean and that enables those metals to be exist as solid substances.But argon an atom consists with full outer shell electron configuration avoids its atom bonding with another.Therefore, Argon exists in nature as a gas.
Argon is a monoatomic gas, held by weak van der Waals forces of attraction. Water is a polar covalent molecule held together by stronger hydrogen bonds and hence have higher boiling point than argon
Potassium chloride has an ionic bond.
stronger intermolecular forces of attraction
The boiling point of Argon is -185.7 degrees Celsius.
Argon has the higher melting point.
The boiling point of potassium is 759 °C.
It requires much more energy to convert the liquid potassium into a vapor than it does to convert the solid to a liquid.
I guess the question is supposed to be either the melting point or boiling point of argon in degree Celsius. If so, the answer are: Melting point = −189.34 °C Boiling point = −185.848 °C
The boiling point of potassium iodide is 1 330 0C. The boiling point of potassium chloride is 1 420 0C.
It is a noble gas and so there are no intermolecular forces between the atoms meaning that it requires very little energy to seperate them.
scooby doo :)
