∙ 9y agoManyt transition metals have very high melting points as the interatomic bonds are very strong, and the metal atoms form regular lattices. In plastics, polymers containing giant molecules, the bonds between the molecules are weak so melting occurs at a lower temperature.

Well it depends on the type of material used but the highest melting point of plastics is 80

∙ 16y agoperhaps it could be to do with the size or thickness of the plastic.

Does metal have a low or high boiling point?
Seeing as metals are solid at room temperature (except for mercury, which is a liquid), and heating metals causes them to become liquid (melt, which is the melting point). Then the boiling point of metals is going to be extremely high.
What is the melting point of common metals?
There is no common melting point, it will vary a lot with the type of metal.
What is the melting point for Mg?
The melting point of magnesium is 650 degrees celcius. It has the lowest melting point among all the group II metals (alkaline earth metals), though the melting points generally decrease down the group - magnesium is an exception and has the lowest melting point among them.
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.
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
Why do plastics have a lower melting point than metals explain in terms of chemical bonding?
Metals have metallic bonds which plastics lack.Plastics lack delocalised electrons that are found in metals.
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.
Would metals or non metals tend to have a higher melting point?
Tungsten has the highest melting point of the elements and it is a metal.
What properties is not a property of metals?
Low Melting Point. Most metals have high melting point and are solids at room temperature.
Do nonmetals have higher boiling points or lower boiling points?
Non-metals have lower boiling points than metals. A link can be found below.
What property is not a physical property of metals?
Low Melting Point. Most metals have high melting point and are solids at room temperature.
What has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.

What are Pure metal with the melting point lower than Cu?
Three metals that when melted together can make the phantom sword. These metals are in The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass.
Is metals are hard with high melting point?
no
What usually has a lower melting point than ionic solids?
Covalent compounds have a lower melting point.
