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.

Do nonmetals have higher boiling points or lower boiling points?

Nonmetals typically have lower boiling points compared to metals because nonmetals have weaker intermolecular forces between their atoms. These weaker forces make it easier for nonmetals to break apart and transition from a solid or liquid state to a gaseous state at lower temperatures.


Why alkali metals have low melting and boiling points?

All alkali metals are found to be very soft and they have low melting and boiling points. Alkali metals have low binding energy in the metal crystal lattice as these atoms have only one valence electron. This results in the formation of metallic bonds which are not very strong. Also, alkali metals melting and boiling points decrease down the group.


Do non-metals have a high boiling point?

Not really, most have low boiling points, except for carbon, for example, which has one of the highest boiling points of any substance at 4827 ºC and Silicon boils at 2355 ºC. Iodine boils at a higher temperature than mercury.


What makes up alkali metals special?

Alkali metals are very reactive, not dense or hard metals, monovalent, with low electronegativities, with low melting and boiling points, react violently with water, form strong bases, etc.


Why are alkali metals volatile?

The alkali metals are the group 1 metals, lithium, sodium, potassium etc. There is only one valence electron involved in the metallic bond and therefore the bond is weaker. In comparison to the majority other metals they are generally low melting and have low boiling points. As an example sodium melts at about 98 C and boils at 883 C. The relatively low boiling point is an indication of their relatively low volatility. Note that volatility is normally a term associated with very low boiling point substances such as acetone, boiling point 56 C

Which all metals have low melting and boiling points?

Some examples of metals with low melting and boiling points include mercury, cesium, and gallium. These metals have melting and boiling points significantly lower than traditional metals like iron and copper.

Does chromium have a high or low boiling point?

Chromium has a high boiling point as opposed to nonmetals. Metals tend to have high boiling points.


Do non-metals have low boiling point?

Non-metals generally have low boiling points compared to metals. This is because non-metals have weaker intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, that require less energy to overcome in order for the substance to change from a liquid to a gas.

Do have nonmetals have high melting points?

Yes non metals do have high melting and boiling points. This is because they have strong intemolecular forces that are hard to overcome.A2. Their melting points vary. Obviously gases such as nitrogen and oxygen have low melting points, but Silicon (1414oC) and Diamond ( around 1700oC) are rather high. Phosphorous and Sulfur on the other hand are rather low.


Do all metals have high melting points?

Very high. For example, sodium (Na) has a boiling point of 883 degrees C, and iron has a boiling point of 2750.0 degrees C, and gold has a boiling point of 2600 degrees C. You can probably find a Period Table that includes the boiling points of all the elements and much more information.


What are the properties and characteristics of the alkali metals and noble gases on the periodic table?

Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table and are highly reactive, soft metals that easily lose electrons. They have low melting and boiling points. Noble gases are in Group 18 and are non-reactive, colorless gases with low boiling points. They have full outer electron shells, making them stable and unreactive.


Why technetium and manganese have low melting and boiling point?

Because of stable electronic configuration of Mn electrons are less delocalized and hence they cannot move in electron sea freely to contribute to strong metallic bond. Hence they have low melting points.
