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

Chemistry
1 answer:
kap26 [50]3 years ago
4 0

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

If you have a heartburn, how you could you safely help the situation
Hatshy [7]

Answer:Eat a light dinner and avoid foods that trigger your heartburn. Don't lie down for at least 2 to 3 hours after you eat. Use blocks or books to raise the head of your bed by 4-6 inches. Or put a foam wedge under your mattress at the head of the bed.

Why does your reflection in a mirror look different from your reflection in wood
skad [1K]

<span>The surface of a mirror is smoothly and therefore the rays of light are reflected with the same angle they hit the surface. The surface of a piece of wood on the other hand has a lot of microscopical imperfections and hence the rays of light are reflected in multiple directions.</span>

Why is an extraction a useful method of "pre-purification" of organic compounds? what physical properties does the process rely
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation :

Extraction : It is a separation technique in which one compound is separated from a mixture of compounds.

In  a chemical process, the solution may not contain only the desired product but there maybe a mixture of products present.

So, for obtaining the desired product we need to get rid of the other products in a mixture like catalyst (if used), other by products or unreacted starting material.

For a compound to be extracted it has to be soluble in the extracting solvent.

Therefore, this process is based on the miscibility of solute and solvent in a mixture.
