Benzene (C6H6) is an organic compound, and KCl is an ionic compound. The sum of the masses of the atoms in each empirical formula is approximately the same. How would you expect the two to compare with regard to melting point, type of bonding, rate of evaporation, and structure? Fill in the blanks below by choosing the correct compound from the drop-down menu. a. The melting point of + will be much higher than that of b. + is a covalent organic compound; * is an ionic inorganic compound. c. The rate of evaporation of + will be many orders of magnitude greater than that of d. +: weak intermolecular interactions cause it to be a volatile liquid at room temperature.
