Is melting point a periodic property?

Answer 1

A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.

Answer 2

Yes, melting point is a physical property that can vary across different elements based on their atomic structure and bonding. It is not a periodic property that follows a predictable trend across the Periodic Table like atomic number or Atomic Mass.
