The melting points of salts and metals are both influenced by the strength of the bonds holding their atoms or ions together. In salts, ionic bonds between cations and anions result in high melting points due to strong electrostatic forces. Similarly, metals exhibit high melting points due to metallic bonds, where electrons are shared among a lattice of positively charged ions. Thus, both salts and metals typically have elevated melting points compared to molecular compounds, reflecting the strength of the interactions within their structures.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of solid often have the highest melting points?
These are some metals and salts.
What is the strongest type of intermolecular force and responsible for the very high melting points of solid salts?
Ionic bonding is the strongest type of intermolecular force and is responsible for the high melting points of solid salts. In ionic bonding, positive and negative ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
What is a similarity between metals and salts?
All salts contain as a cation a metal (or ammonium).
Does salt usually have a low melting point?
Yes salts have a low melting point. I think...
What elements has a low melting point and boiling point exists as a diatomic molecule in the gas phase has seven valence electrons and readily reacts with metals to produce a salt?
The element described is chlorine (Cl). It exists as a diatomic molecule (Cl2) in the gas phase due to its low melting and boiling points. With seven valence electrons, it readily reacts with metals to form ionic compounds (salts) by gaining an electron to achieve a stable octet configuration.

Do salts have very low melting points?
No
What are general properties of alkaline metals?
Chemically they react with water to form alkaline hydroxides, a more vigorous reaction is produced by the larger alkaline metals than the smaller ones. Alkaline metals react with the halogens to form ionic salts, because they are so reactive they are rarely found in nature and have to be stored in mineral oil for use in labs In terms of physical properties they are soft, with low melting and boiling points and quite shinny.
Which material has higer melting point NaCl or sugar explain?
Generally inorganic ionic salts have higher melting points than organic materials; the bonds are stronger.
What is the strongest type of intermolecular force and responsible for the very high melting points of solid salts?
Ionic bonding is the strongest type of intermolecular force and is responsible for the high melting points of solid salts. In ionic bonding, positive and negative ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
What type of metals is found in salts?
All types of metals form salts.
What is nitrate melting point?
"nitrate" is not a compound. There are many nitrates with various melting points. To give you a point of reference, the melting point of sodium nitrate is a bit over 300 degrees Celsius or about 580 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is a similarity between metals and salts?
All salts contain as a cation a metal (or ammonium).
Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
Does salt usually have a low melting point?
Yes salts have a low melting point. I think...
What family often forms salts?
Metals form salts often.
What are three characteristics of salts and neutralization?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base: - salts may be soluble or insoluble in water - water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral - salts may be ionic compounds
