when we heat a substance its kinetic energy increases and due to this kinetic energy the force of attraction decreases and can no longer hold the particles together.

Why does water molecule have a high boiling point and melting point?

hydrogen bonding increases the intermolecular attractions and therefore increases the boiling point and melting point.


What is the melting point of Magnesium oxide?

The melting point of magnesium chloride depends upon the rate at which the heat is applied. With slow heating, the material will decompose above 300oC. With rapid heating, the melting point is about 714oC.


Effects of impurities and pressure on melting point of water?

melting point decreases with pressure and increases with impurities (like saw dust). boiling point increases with impurities and also increases with pressure.


Why could the rate of heating influence the melting?

It doesn't. Melting point is fixed for each substance at a particular pressure. However, very rapid heating can make it difficult to measure the melting point accurately.

How does the addition of impurities to a metal affect its melting point?

generally addition of impurities lowers the melting pointand increases the boiling point


What effect would too rapid heating have upon apparent melting point of a compound?

The melting point of the compound would be lower than it actually is.


What is the heating point of magnesium?

You probably want to know about a melting point or a boiling point; the term "heating point" does not have any specific meaning, since magnesium can always be heated, at any point.
