The attractive forces holding the molecules of silver iodide together (intermolecular forces) are stronger than those in vanillin, therefore they require more energy to break them. The attractive forces between two molecules of silver iodide are much stronger than the attractive forces between two molecules of vanilin. This is due to the different types of bonds found in each molecule - silver iodide molecules contain ionic bonds, which are very strong, while vanilin molecules contain covalent bonds which are a lot weaker. Since the attractive forces are higher in silver iodide, it requires a lot more energy (i.e. heat) to break these attractive forces in order to melt silver iodide, therefore it has a much higher melting point than vanilin.

Does wood or silver melt or burn faster?

Wood burns faster than silver because it has a lower melting point and is more flammable. Silver's high melting point makes it resistant to burning at standard temperatures, however, it can eventually melt under intense heat.


Why silver iodide is preferred for artificial rain?

Solid silver iodide is preferred as a nucleator for artificially stimulated rain because its crystal lattice parameters are close to those of ice, and for that reason are more effective than other salts in causing small ice crystals in clouds to melt.
