What is the difference the melting point of organic and inorganic compounds?

The melting points of organic compounds will vary and are related to the boiling points. Organic compounds that have strong cohesive forces will generally have higher melting points.


What is the difference between organic and inorganic of melting point?

Actually the melting point depends on the molecule under consideration. But, in general inorganic compounds have higher melting point than organic compounds. However, there are many exceptions to this statement.


How can melting point and boiling point determination be used in identifying and or characterizing unknown compounds?

compounds are identified because each compound have characteristically different melting and boiling points.

Is the melting point of organic compound high or low?

Melting point is important in organic chemistry because it can be used for the identification of a compound. For pure solid organic compounds will have a small melting point range (0.5-10C),thus presence of impurity can also be find out by Melting point.
