The covalent melting and boiling points are generally lower than those of ionic compounds due to weaker intermolecular forces between covalent molecules. These forces include London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. The actual melting and boiling points vary depending on the specific molecules involved.
The melting point of buckyballs (C60 molecules) is approximately 590 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point is around 881 degrees Celsius. Buckyballs have high melting and boiling points due to the strong covalent bonds within the carbon structure.
Metallic: melting point @ 63, boiling point @ 760, properties: soft, silvery, solid, and conductor as a solid. Covalent: melting point @ -101, boiling point @ -34.6, properties: greenish yellow gas and not a good conductor.
A possible compound would be silicon dioxide with giant covalent structure and strong covalent bonds.
Yes, it has a melting point of 1683 Kelvin.
This is because they have extremely strong covalent bonds that operate in 3D and firmly hold together all the atoms in the lattice structure. Why the bonds are so strong? Probably (and don't quote me here) because the bonds are extremely stable as a result of hybridisation. Consequently, a lot of energy is required to break or even weaken these bonds, hence the exceptionally high melting and boiling points,
high boiling point low melting point
It's likely but not definitive. Giant covalent substances like diamond also have high melting and boiling points. To be sure you would have to show that the melted or dissolved substance conducts electricity.
The melting point of buckyballs (C60 molecules) is approximately 590 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point is around 881 degrees Celsius. Buckyballs have high melting and boiling points due to the strong covalent bonds within the carbon structure.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon where all the carbon atoms are tetrahedrally bonded with each other forming a three dimensional covalent network. Since the bonds are strong (covalent, network), diamond has a very high melting point and boiling point. Iodine does not have three dimensional network and hence has very low melting/ boiling point. It fact, it will sublime at room temperature.
hydrogen bonding increases the intermolecular attractions and therefore increases the boiling point and melting point.
Tetraoxidre is H4O. Its Melting Point is 995.45 Degrees Fahrenheit and its boiling point is an extremly high 14,290.15 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Brittleness high melting and boiling point are properties of ionic compounds within structures. This is taught in biology.

The melting point of tantalum is 3 017 0C.The boiling point of tantalum is 5 458 0C (this is a very high boiling point).
