Water has hydrogen bonding between molecules. The hydrogen in one molecule is attracted to the oxygen in another molecule of water by electrostatic interaction. Water has a melting point of 0 ºC.
In carbon dioxide there is no attraction between the molecules. Each molecule is non-polar so only van der Waal forces (also known as London forces or dispersion forces) are weak because the molecule is small.
Water has higher intermolecular forces.

Melting point of rubbing alcohol?
alcohol does freeze, but at a much lower temparture than water. It has a freezing point of -117 F, which is much colder than a conventional freezer.
Is boiling point higher than melting point?
they are the same... dont know who wrote this but it can be the same such as dry ice, or different such as water. however boiling point will sometimes be higher than melting point
What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
When are oil baths and water baths used respectively for melting point determination?
oil is used when we are determining the melting point of compound higher than 100 while for those compound which have melting point less then 100 we use water bath
What is the freezing point or the melting point 0 degrees Celsius?
Water. Depending on whether you cooling ( freezing point) or whether you are warming (from ice to melting point).
Why does water have a higher melting point than oxygen?
Water has a high melting point and boiling point because of hydrogen bonds
What element has a melting point higher than water?
tungsten
What are the boiling and melting point's of salty water?
That depends on how much salt is dissolved in the water. Generally, the boiling point will be higher than for pure water, and the melting point will be lower than for pure water.

Will LiCl have a higher boiling point than water?
boiling point:1382 C Melting point: 605 C
What is the effect of the salt by usingthe concept of melting point?
Salt water has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point.
Does H2O have a higher melting point than CCl4?
Yes. Water melts at 0 ºC. Tetrachloromethane (Carbon tetrachloride) has a melting point of -22 ºC
How can one differentiate between water and alcohol with tasting or smelling it?
Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.
What has the highest melting point NaF NaCl NaBr NaI?
NaCl has the highest melting point (between NaCl and H2O)
