Compounds with high melting points have?

Because they have interlocking electrons as the different elements' electrons have been 'tangled'


All metals are hard and have high melting points?

Not all metals are hard, as some metals like gold and lead are relatively soft. Additionally, while many metals have high melting points, some metals like mercury have low melting points. The properties of metals can vary widely depending on the specific metal in question.


True of false all metals are hard and have high melting points?

False. While many metals are hard and have high melting points, not all metals exhibit these properties. For example, metals such as mercury and gallium have low melting points and are liquid at room temperature. Additionally, some metals can be relatively soft, such as gold and lead.


Why would decompression of mantle peridotite cause the production of mafic magma?

Melting points vary with pressure. In nearly all substances the melting point increases with increasing pressure. The peridotite in the mantle is extremely hot and under immense pressure. When it is decompressed some melting occurs. The composition is not uniform and some minerals have lower melting points than others. The mafic minerals will be able to melt while the ultramafic mineralls generally will not.


What is the melting and boiling point of metals?

Which metal needs to be specified. Look in a Chemistry book or reference book. All metals have their own melting and boiling points - that's one of the ways we identify which metal the item is made of.

Why all crystals have high melting points?

because all crystals are metals .


Do all minerals have same melting point?

No, minerals have different melting points depending on their chemical composition and structure. The melting point of a mineral is influenced by factors such as the type of bonding between atoms, presence of impurities, and pressure conditions.


How high can melting points get?

At 6000K all elements will turn into a gas.there could be hundreds of unknown elements in space so there could be even higher melting points

Is there a metal that won't melt?

No, all metals melt. Though some have extremely high melting points.


Does all metal melt?

yes all metals melt but at differenttemperatures some have low and some have high melting points


Do metals have definite melting points?

Yes, all metals have definite melting points. Most, under earths atmospheric pressure, have very high (hot) melting points, but mercury is liquid at room temperature. Mercury begins to "melt" from it's solid form at 39 degrees below zero!


Why do covalent structures have high melting points?

Covalent structures have high melting points because the covalent bonds between atoms are strong and require a significant amount of energy to break. This high energy barrier results in a high melting point for covalent structures.


Can all rocks be melted?

No, not all rocks can be melted. Rocks with high melting points, such as granite, can require very high temperatures to melt. Additionally, some rocks can react chemically or decompose before reaching their melting point.
