Is it possible for a polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound?

Yes, it is possible. Melting point is influenced by various factors beyond just the polarity of the compound, such as molecular size, shape, and intermolecular forces. A polar covalent compound with weaker intermolecular forces can have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound with stronger intermolecular forces.


Do non polar covalent compounds have high or low melting points?

No they have high melting and boiling points. Don't get confused with simple molecular structures such as water and carbon dioxide which have simple covalent structures. When you heat them you are overcoming the forces BETWEEN THE MOLECULES (intermolecular/van der waals forces of attraction), NOT the actual covalent bonds themselves, like the bond betwen the C and either O in carbon dioxide.


Why do polar covalent molecules have higher melting points than non polar covalent compounds?

They maintain their bonding far longer than nonpolar molecules can with the addition of heat energy. Remember their slightly negative ends will bind with the slightly positive ends of the adjacent molecule.


Do non polar molecules have high melting points?

No, It is infact polar molecules that have higher melting points than non-polar molecules. Polar molecules have stronger intermolecular bonds called dipole-dipole forces. These forces are an attraction between the slightly positive end of one molecule with the slightly nehative end of another.


When alcohols increase in size do they become more polar or non polar?

Alcohols generally become more polar as they increase in size because they have more oxygen-hydrogen bonds which contribute to their polarity. This increased polarity can affect their solubility, boiling point, and intermolecular interactions.

Does polar water diluted by melting ice become more less dense than?

When polar water is diluted by melting ice, the overall density of the water can decrease. Ice is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats; when it melts, it adds water to the surrounding liquid without significantly increasing the mass. However, the temperature and salinity of the surrounding water can also affect density, but generally, melting ice leads to a less dense mixture compared to the original polar water.

Because the water gets colder isn't that obvious!


Is melting ice more or less dense than polar water?

Except at EXTREME pressures (like over 200 MPa), ice is less dense than liquid water. In the case of polar water this is even more the case since polar water has a fair amount of salt dissolved into it, raising it's density, while the ice is nearly pure water.


Will polar bears become more endangered over time?

if the ice keeps melting they will have no land so they might drown in the water and might become more endangered overtime.


Why is melting sea ice such a threat to the polar bears?

Melting sea ice is a threat to the polar bears because without the sea ice the polar bears predators will see them and swim away.
