Which type of compound would have the lowest melting point?
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
What are the typical properties of ionic compound?
low melting point. ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They conduct electricty in solution or in molten state unlike covalent compounds and carbon compounds which are poor conductors of electricity .
A liter of gasoline will boil at?
Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different boiling points. Some components of gasoline will boil at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius, while others have boiling points above 200 degrees Celsius. So, a liter of gasoline will have a range of boiling points depending on its composition.
Which type of elements are molecular compounds composed of?
Molecular compounds are composed of all types of elements. I think the answer you're going for is what type of BONDS are molecular compounds composed of. In which case, the answer would be covalant, however this can vary between polar and nonpolar covalant, that's what a molecular compound is made of, otherwise it's an ionic compound.
Why methane and silicon dioxide have different boiling points?
Methane is a simple molecule composed of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces compared to the structure of silicon dioxide, which consists of a network of covalent bonds. The stronger covalent bonding in silicon dioxide requires more energy to break, resulting in a higher boiling point compared to the relatively weak van der Waals forces in methane.
Do organic compounds have a higher boiling point?
Higher than what? Some organic compounds (e.g. propane, butane) have very very low boiling points making them gases at room temperature. Certain inorganic compounds (e.g. tungsten carbide) have boiling points so high that before those compounds boiled all organic compounds would not only have boiled but would have decomposed into their elements or very simple inorganic carbon compounds (e.g. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide).
How would you use the boiling point of a substance to identify a specific substances?
Because each compound has a specific boiling point (with some exceptions) comparing exactly determined boiling points we can identify compounds.
Which type of compound would have the lowest melting point?
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Which liquid is having the highest rate of evaporation?
The liquid with the highest rate of evaporation would generally be the one with the lowest boiling point. This means that substances like acetone or ethanol, which have low boiling points, will evaporate more quickly than water or oil.
Why would a liquid have two different boiling points?
possibly if it has been contaminated by other substances (as compared to original boiling point - it seems as though it has 2 different boiling points) things such as sodium chloride (table salt) raise the boiling point of water and lower its melting point note though that a pure liquid can never have 2 different boiling points - the boiling point is a property of a a liquid and will never change no matter what. alternatively if the fluid concerned is a mix of 2 different liquids (eg. alcohol mixed in water) the liquid with the lower boiling point (eg. alcohol) will boil off first, then the remaining fluid will continue heating up until the 2nd boiling point is reached (eg. of water). thus the fluid seems to boil at 2 different temperatures
Which of the following molecules, ethane, propane, or butane, would have the highest boiling point?
Butane would have the highest boiling point among ethane, propane, and butane.
How do you separate a mixture of acetone and methanol?
You can separate a mixture of acetone and methanol through fractional distillation. Both compounds have different boiling points (acetone: 56°C, methanol: 65°C) allowing for separation based on their boiling points. By heating the mixture and collecting the vapors at their respective boiling points, you can separate acetone and methanol into individual fractions.
Organic compounds are also covalent compounds what properties would you expect organic compounds to have as a result?
As covalent compounds, organic compounds tend to have relatively low melting and boiling points, be non-conductive of electricity, and have lower solubility in water. They also commonly exhibit isomerism, meaning they can have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements, leading to a wide range of diverse compounds.
Could someone describe properties that would help you to distinguish an ionic compound from a molecular compound?
Ionic compounds typically have higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds, as they have strong electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds also tend to be soluble in water and conduct electricity when dissolved, due to the presence of free ions. In contrast, molecular compounds have lower melting and boiling points, are often insoluble in water, and do not conduct electricity in their pure state.
How can molecular compounds be distinguished from ionic compounds?
Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.
You are given the melting points of three unknown substances and are asked to predict which one is an ionic compound You would select the compound with the?
Highest melting point. (Note that this does not assure that the remaining compounds are not also ionic.)
Do all metals have low boiling points?
First of all I would like to say that Metals usually have very high melting and boiling points. If you really find no mistake in this question then the answer is certainly NO. But if you feel now that the question is wrong and it would be "non metals" in place of "metals" then the answer would certainly be Yes.
