Interpretation:
In each of the given pairs of substances which one has lower melting point has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Melting point:
The temperature at which a crystalline solid melts into a liquid is known as melting point.
Both melting point and boiling points are characteristic properties of the compound.
Types of solids give melting points of several substances.
Types of solid
- Molecular soli
- Metallic solid
- Ionic solid
- Covalent network
Molecular solid:
A solid which consist of atoms or molecule thought intermolecular force.
Metallic solid:
The solid which consist of metal atom held together by metallic bonds. Metallic bonding is
Ionic solid:
A solid which consist of anions and cations held together by ionic bond (electrical attraction of opposite charges).
Covalent network:
A solid that involves atoms held together by great network or shackles by covalent bonds.
Diamond and graphite are great example.
