Why do covalent compounds tend to have lower melting points than ionic compounds?

Chemistry
2 answers:
vitfil [10]3 years ago
6 0
Because ionic compounds' strong bonds form network structures, which have a stronger attraction than the covalent compounds which are molecules.
Advocard [28]3 years ago

Simple molecular substances consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds. Their molecules are held together by weak forces, so these substances have low melting and boiling points. ... They have high melting and boiling points.

1)Define potential Energy.
Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.

Explain why we use 1/12 in finding atomic mass unit ?​
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.

Explanation:

Further explanation if needed...

Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that apply.
rjkz [21]

The statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position is the elastic potential energy is zero, the displacement of the spring is at a maximum and the net force acting on the spring is zero.

<h3>What is the equilibrium position?</h3>

A body is in equilibrium when the sum of all forces acting on it equals zero. According to Newton's First Law, when resulting from the laws that act on a body that remains in a state of restriction or in motion in its motion, it remains uniformly null.

In this case the only statements that match the definition of equilibrium position are:

  • The elastic potential energy is zero.
  • The displacement of the spring is at a maximum.
  • The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Is a diamond a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or a substance
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

heterogeneous

Explanation:

It's a heterogeneous mixture. Diamond is made of just one element: carbon. Each carbon atom in diamond is connected to four other carbon atoms, in a crystal that extends on and on. There are other forms of pure carbon where the atoms are bonded differently, notably charcoal and graphite.
