Nope; not always. So the answer would be false. You have to realize that there might be impure substances mixed. Likewise impure substance can either lower the melting point or increase it :)

Name this crystalline solid; each compound and material have a different melting point.


How you know specific compound from another by melting point?

Melting point is a unique characteristic of a substance.


What is the purpose of determining boiling point and melting point?

Boiling point- the temperature and pressure at which a liquid and a gas are in equilibrium. But also, it is very useful in determining the purity of a substance. If the melting point is known of the pure substance, than you can measure the melting point of what you've got and see if it matches. If the melting (or boiling) point is the same, than that is a good indication that the compound you have is what you think it is, and it is pure. If they are different from each other, that indicates that your compound is not pure.


How do you know a compound is ionic or molecular?

An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state . A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and cannot conduct electricity regardless of state. Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at SATP.


What is the opposite of recrystallise?

The opposite of recrystallize is amorphize, where a crystalline substance is transformed into an amorphous form, such as through melting and rapid cooling.


A transparent crystalline substance is found to be rather soft and have a low melting point what type of solid is this substance?

This substance is likely an ionic solid, as they tend to have low melting points and are usually soft. Examples include salts like sodium chloride.


What kind of crystalline solid MgCI2?

MgCl2 is an ionic compound that forms a crystal lattice structure in its solid state. It is a white crystalline solid with a high melting point.


How is the melting of an impure compound expected to change with recrystallization?

During recrystallization, impurities are removed as the compound is dissolved and then slowly cooled to allow for the formation of pure crystals. As a result, the melting point of the compound should increase after recrystallization because the presence of impurities lowers the melting point of the compound.


How do you suggest from quoted physical data the type of structure and bonding present in a substance?

By analyzing physical data such as melting point, boiling point, density, and conductivity, one can infer the type of structure and bonding present in a substance. For example, high melting and boiling points suggest strong bonding, while conductivity indicates the presence of mobile charge carriers. Additionally, if the substance is crystalline and has a repeating pattern, it likely has a structured lattice arrangement.


Are melting point unique to elements?

Yes, the melting point of a substance is unique and specific to that substance. It is the temperature at which a solid material changes into a liquid at atmospheric pressure. Each element or compound has its own distinct melting point.
