What else can I help you with?
Why do mixtures not have sharp melting points and boiling points?
Because they are not pure compounds !
Compounds with high melting points have?
Because they have interlocking electrons as the different elements' electrons have been 'tangled'
What is the difference between organic and inorganic of melting point?
Actually the melting point depends on the molecule under consideration. But, in general inorganic compounds have higher melting point than organic compounds. However, there are many exceptions to this statement.
Why do electrovalent compounds have high melting and boiling points?
Electrovalent compounds have high melting and boiling points because they have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ions. These forces require a significant amount of energy to overcome, resulting in high melting and boiling points for these compounds.
Do metals melt easily?
If easily means at low temperatures then no, ionic compounds generally have a higher melting point than most compounds except for those with hydrogen bonding and network covalent bonding which have higher melting points generally.
Compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be .?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Where can you find a table of melting points for compounds?
Here's a chart of elemental melting points...not compounds. http://www.chemicalelements.com/show/meltingpoint.html
How does the melting point of ionic compounds compared to that of covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
What is the difference the melting point of organic and inorganic compounds?
Generally, organic compounds have lower melting points compared to inorganic compounds due to weaker intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces in organic compounds. Inorganic compounds tend to have higher melting points because of stronger ionic or covalent bonds between their atoms.
Compared With the Melting Point Of Ionic Compounds The Melting Points Of Molecular Solids Tend To Be?
Ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
Which type of compound would have the lowest melting point?
Compounds bonded by covalent bonds do not necessarily have low melting points. Some have whereas some don't have.Some polymers and hydrocarbons have very high melting points. But it can be said that they don't have melting points as high as ionic compounds. It is so because ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Why do mixtures not have sharp melting points and boiling points?
Because they are not pure compounds !
What causes the differences in melting points and boiling points between ionic and covalent compounds molecular substances?
The differences in melting and boiling points between ionic and covalent compounds are due to the strength of the intermolecular forces present. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, resulting in higher melting and boiling points. Covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces or dipole-dipole interactions, leading to lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds.
Compared with ionic compounds solid molecular compounds generally?
have lower melting and boiling points, exist as discrete molecules, and do not conduct electricity in the solid state.
How compared with the melting points of ionic compounds the melting points of molecular solids tend to be?
The melting points of molecular solids are lower compared to ionic compounds. This is because molecular solids are held together by weaker intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, which are easier to overcome than the strong electrostatic forces present in ionic compounds.
What information would the melting point give you in terms of the bonding of a compound?
Ionic compounds have melting points higher than covalent compounds.
How do ionic compounds and molecular compounds differ in their relative melting and bioling points?
Ionic compounds tend to have higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds. This is because ionic bonds are generally stronger than the intermolecular forces present in molecular compounds, such as van der Waals forces. The strong electrostatic forces between ions in an ionic compound require more energy to overcome, leading to higher melting and boiling points.
