Why does aluminum have a higher melting temperature than sodium?

This is a difficult question to answer- one factor is that sodium has only one valence electron and aluminum has three so the bonding is stronger.

What has the higher melting point sodium chloride or aluminum oxide?
aluminum oxide : Al2O3
Which has a higher melting point Sodium Chloride or Ethyl Alcohol?
Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.
Why does aluminum have a higher melting point than Sodium?
Metallic bonding is between metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons. In Aluminum, there are more delocalised electrons and the ions have a higher charge than Sodium. There is a greater force of attraction between the electrons of aluminum because the protons that are pulling on a 3+ ion are stronger than a 1+ ion. Since it requires more force to overcome these forces of attraction, Aluminum has the higher melting point. - Troy Moss

Which would you expect to have a higher melting point sodium chloride NaCI or aluminum oxide AI203?
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2 072 0C.
Sodium oxide melting point higher or lower than water?
Much higher. Water melts around 1 0C. At this temperature and much higher, sodium oxide is a solid.

Which of following solids would hae higher melting point AlO3 vs NaBr?
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) would have a higher melting point than sodium bromide (NaBr). This is because aluminum and oxygen ions in Al2O3 are more strongly bonded through covalent bonds, while sodium and bromide ions in NaBr are held together by weaker ionic bonds. Stronger bonding requires more energy to break, resulting in a higher melting point.
In science explain why more salt will disslove in the water when its temperature is greater?
Sodium Chloride (table salt) is an ionic compound that has a high melting point. The higher the temperature, the more you have reached its melting point, that means the higher the temperature the more the salt will be dissolved. (as long as the temperature is about 801 degrease Celsius, or 1474 degrease Fahrenheit, because that is table salts melting point.)
The melting point of sodium bromide a salt is 755c Calculate this temperature in and in f kelvins?
The melting point of sodium bromide (a salt) is 755 . Calculate this temperature in and in kelvins.
Is the melting point of sodium higher or lower than rubidium?
Sodium has a melting point of 97.72 oC and rubidium has a melting point of 39.48 oC.
How do you melt sodium?
You use burners to get glass to a melting temperature.
Does sodium chloride or phosphorus trichloride have a higher melting point?
