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

Which substance is a mixture?<br> table salt<br> gasoline<br> aluminum<br> carbon dioxide
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Gasoline

Pure Substance: are those having same type of atoms or molecules.

Compound: one or more atoms of the element combine to form a compound.

Mixture: is combination of one or more substances mix together.

Homogeneous Mixture: are those which are not distinguish by naked eye but can be separated into its components by physical means

Heterogeneous mixture: are those which can be distinguishing by naked eye and can be separated into its components by physical means.

So keeping in mind the above definitions

Table salt:

The chemical formula of table salt is NaCl and it a pure compound not mixture.

Gasoline:  

Gasoline is mixture of hydrocarbon, It contains small hydrocarbons ranging from 4 Carbon to 12 Carbon per molecule. it is a homogeneous mixture.

Aluminum:

Aluminum is a pure substance that is made up of same kind of atoms. so it is an element and not mixture. Its symbol is Al

Carbon dioxide:

Carbon dioxide is a pure compound and its chemical formula is CO₂ and not a mixture.

So, the write option is Gasoline.

Which electrons in an atom make chemical bonds? why?
nikdorinn [45]
Valence (outermost) electrons. Chemical bonds are formed when an atom does not have a full outermost shell, i.e. there are 7 electrons and 1 more is needed, or there is only 1 electron, which can be transferred to another atom.

  • Non-metal elements are found in groups, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the periodic table. Halogens are an example of non-metals that gain an electron to form anions.
  • SO₂ is a compound whose molecule contains sulfur and oxygen which are non-metals. The sulfur and oxygen atoms are joined together by a covalent bond to form SO₂.
