due to the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the positive cations and negative anions in ionic compounds
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds do. The electronegativity difference in ionic compounds makes their bond much stronger.
Ionic substances have higher melting points.
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
The structure of a compound will dictate what intermolecular forces hold the molecules together. The stronger these forces, the higher will be the boiling point.
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
No. The electronegativity difference is 0.67, giving Ni - S bonds 11% ionic character. The bonds have substantial covalent character, instead. The high melting and boiling points of NiS can be attributed, not to the ionic character, but to the network arrangement of atoms. Networks, whether they be predominately ionic or predominately covalant, have higher melting and boiling points.
Ionic bonds are significantly resistant to heat, while molecular bonds are broken more easily with the addition of heat energy. Due to this, ionic compounds have much higher boiling points than molecular substances in most cases.
Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than covalent compounds.
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Ionic compounds generally have a higher melting point. This is because the bonds between the negative and positive ions are strong, and this keeps the solid together as the temperature rises. Covalent compounds have comparatively weak bonds between the molecules, so as the temperature rises, these bonds are broken easily and the substance turns into a liquid.
