The melting point of radium chloride is 900 0C.
The compound with ionic bonds typically has the highest melting point due to the strong attraction between ions.
B. has a low melting point is NOT a characteristic of an ionic compound. Ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions in the crystal lattice.
The melting point of a compound cannot determine the bonding structure. As an example, both diamond and sodium chloride have higher melting points than 800 centigrade but are covalent and ionic compounds respectively.
Highest melting point. (Note that this does not assure that the remaining compounds are not also ionic.)
When an ionic compound is heated beyond its melting point, the ionic bonds holding the ions together become weakened due to increased thermal energy. This can cause the ions to break apart, leading to the compound eventually decomposing into its constituent elements.
Because it is a ionic compound.
The ionic bond is stronger.
If the melting point is at 1240 degrees C then it is most likely an ionic compound, because ionic compounds have their melting points above 800 degrees C while the molecular compounds have their melting point at or below room temperature.
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.
The compound with ionic bonds typically has the highest melting point due to the strong attraction between ions.
B. has a low melting point is NOT a characteristic of an ionic compound. Ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions in the crystal lattice.
Because NaCl is stable to thermal degradation and is an ionic compound.
The melting point of a compound cannot determine the bonding structure. As an example, both diamond and sodium chloride have higher melting points than 800 centigrade but are covalent and ionic compounds respectively.
Highest melting point. (Note that this does not assure that the remaining compounds are not also ionic.)
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound whereas AlCl3 is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds have greater melting point due to stronger electrostatic force of attraction.
When an ionic compound is heated beyond its melting point, the ionic bonds holding the ions together become weakened due to increased thermal energy. This can cause the ions to break apart, leading to the compound eventually decomposing into its constituent elements.
A compound with a high melting point is more likely to be ionic rather than covalent. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions, resulting in high melting points. Covalent compounds typically have lower melting points because they are held together by weaker intermolecular forces.
