What is the boiling point of technetium?

It takes a lot of heat to turn this metal into a gas. The boiling point is 4265 °C or 7709 °F or 4538 K. A link can be found below.


Why can't and alcohol thermometer be used to measure the boiling point of water?

Alcohol thermometers typically have a lower maximum temperature range compared to mercury thermometers, making them unsuitable for measuring the high boiling point of water. Alcohol thermometers may not accurately measure temperatures above their boiling point, which is lower than water's boiling point.


Why does Iodine have a low boiling point but diamond has a high boiling point?

Diamond is an allotrope of carbon where all the carbon atoms are tetrahedrally bonded with each other forming a three dimensional covalent network. Since the bonds are strong (covalent, network), diamond has a very high melting point and boiling point. Iodine does not have three dimensional network and hence has very low melting/ boiling point. It fact, it will sublime at room temperature.


Does sodium chloride have a high or low boiling point?

Iodine, at p=p0,Boiling point 457.4 K, &ensp;184.3 &deg;C(So I don't know if you'd call this high or low? compared with what?)However the difference with melting point of Iodine (386.85 K, &ensp;113.7 &deg;C) is remarkably small (< 71oC) and the solid is quite vaporous far below its boiling point (Triple point 386.65K (113.5oC), 12.07 kPa, just below melting point).

Why does ammonia have a high boiling point?

Ammonia has a high boiling point because it forms hydrogen bonds between its molecules. These hydrogen bonds are relatively strong forces of attraction that require more energy to break, leading to a higher boiling point compared to other compounds of similar size.

No, 68 is a low boiling point.


Water has an unusually high boiling point?

Water has an unusually high boiling point compared to other molecules of similar size due to the hydrogen bonds that form between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds must be broken before water can boil.

Which boils quicker liquid with high boiling point or liquid with low boiling point?

A liquid with a lower boiling point will boil quicker because it requires less energy to reach its boiling point compared to a liquid with a higher boiling point.
