The functional group can affect the chemical properties and physical properties. Like CH3CH3 and CH3CH2OH. The first one is gas and second one is liquid. The first one is not easy to react with others while the second one is.
Answer:
Where SiO2 has strong covalent bonds between molecules, SO3 only has weak van der waals intermolecular forces holding its molecules together. Since covalent bonds require more energy to overcome than van der waals, SiO2 requires a higher temperature than SO3 to melt, thus SiO2 has a higher melting point.
Answer:
