Non-metals have lower boiling points than metals. A link can be found below.
Nonmetals typically have lower melting points and boiling points compared to metals. This is due to nonmetals having weaker intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, compared to the strong metallic bonds found in metals.
No, the trends for melting points and boiling points in nonmetals are generally different from those in metals. Nonmetals typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to metals, which tend to have high melting and boiling points due to strong metallic bonds. In nonmetals, the melting and boiling points can vary significantly based on molecular structure and intermolecular forces, with noble gases having very low points and some covalent network solids like diamond having high points. Therefore, while both groups exhibit trends, the underlying reasons and values differ significantly.
In fractional distillation, the boiling point of a substance determines its vaporization and condensation behavior within the distillation column. Substances with lower boiling points vaporize first and ascend the column, where they can be collected at higher points. Conversely, substances with higher boiling points remain in the column longer and are collected at lower points. This difference in boiling points allows for the effective separation of components based on their volatility.
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.
Volatile liquids with lower boiling points tend to evaporate more easily, leading to quicker removal from a mixture. This can result in faster reaction rates and more efficient extraction processes. Additionally, lower boiling point liquids are less likely to leave residue behind compared to liquids with higher boiling points.

Metals on the periodic table are elements that are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Their properties differ from nonmetals and metalloids in that metals tend to be more ductile, have higher melting and boiling points, and are more reactive. Nonmetals, on the other hand, are typically brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and have lower melting and boiling points. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.

Nonmetals are generally the opposite of metals. They are very brittle, are not good conductors of heat and electricity, and are dull. Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, which means they have low boiling points. They have lower densities than nonmetals.
Solid nonmetals tend to be brittle, have lower melting/boiling points, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metals, on the other hand, are generally malleable, have higher melting/boiling points, and are good conductors of heat and electricity.
The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.
Nonmetals tend to have lower melting and boiling points than metals. They tend to be dull and brittle. They do not conduct heat or electricity. They are insulators.

IMF (intermolecular forces) affect the boiling and melting points of a substance by influencing the strength of the bonds between molecules. Stronger IMFs lead to higher boiling and melting points because more energy is required to overcome these forces. Weaker IMFs result in lower boiling and melting points as less energy is needed to break the intermolecular interactions.
Volatile liquids with lower boiling points tend to evaporate more easily, leading to quicker removal from a mixture. This can result in faster reaction rates and more efficient extraction processes. Additionally, lower boiling point liquids are less likely to leave residue behind compared to liquids with higher boiling points.
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
Substances with lower boiling points tend to have higher evaporation rates, as they can more easily transition from a liquid to a gas. Therefore, substances such as acetone or ethanol, which have low boiling points, would be expected to have higher evaporation rates compared to substances with higher boiling points like water or oil.
