Explain the different melting points between ionic and covalent bonding

Chemistry

Ionic bonding is formed in Ionic compounds due to electrostatic force between the oppositely charged ions.


In covalent bonds electrons are shared between the atoms. In case of ionic bond the bond is stronger as there is complete transfer of electrons from one ion to the other.


Since the ionic bonds are more difficult to break than the covalent bonds, ionic compounds have a higher melting point than covalent compounds.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ionic compounds have high melting points than covelent compounds because ionic compounds have strong bonding which needs high amount of energy to break.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Ionic compounds are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions.
  • Ionic bonds are very strong - a lot of energy is needed to break them.
  • Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
  • They are relatively weak bonds, they need low amount of energy to break.

Summarize the acid-base behavior of the main-group metal and nonmetal oxides in water. How does oxide acidity in water change do
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides while they react with water to form alkaline solutions. Also, acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals and they react with water to form acidic solutions.

Trends on the period table shows the variation of metallic character as you move across and down the periodic table. Metallic character of a element decreases across the period on the periodic table from left to right because atoms readily accept electrons in their outermost shell to form stable configurations. Metallic character increases as you move down the group in the periodic table and this is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases (more outer shells are added), where there is decreasing attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

So down the group, the acidity of oxide reaction with water decreases because the oxides are more basic down the group while across the period, the acidity of oxide increases because acidic oxides are formed as we move across the period.

Magnesium reacts with Oxygen gas forming Magnesium oxide as shown;
LuckyWell [14K]
Molar mass:

O2 = 16 x 2 = 32.0 g/mol              Mg = 24 g/mol

<span>2 Mg(s) + O2(g) --->2 MgO(s) 
</span>
2 x 24.0 g Mg -------------> 32 g O2
5.00 g Mg -----------------> ( mass of O2)

mass of O2 = 5.00 x 32 / 2 x 24.0

mass of O2 = 160 / 48

= 3.33 g of O2

hope this helps!
