Chemistry

alexdok [17]3 years ago

<span>Scientists have determined that the center of the earth is 6371 km below the surface. But how has this been determined? Many people might answer that question by saying scientists can drill into the Earth with machines. However, the drilling rigs that scientists use can only drill about 20 km in the Earth which is not very deep! In other words, we can only drill into upper part of the crust of the earth. Extremely high temperatures and pressures within the Earth make drilling into it very difficult</span>

Why do molecular compounds have low melting points and low boiling points relative to ionic substances?​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the intermolecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?
Phantasy [73]
Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}
