Aim: • To investigate the relationship between type of bonding and melting point.
Method: Compounds to be tested
Conclusion: • In general, • Ionic compounds high melting points • Covalent compounds low melting points
Melting and Boiling Points of Substances Ionic solids • 3D rigid lattice where ions are held together by very strong bonds of attraction so lots of energy is needed to overcome this attraction. • Ionic solids tend to have high melting and boiling points. • For example, sodium chloride (NaCl)
Covalent Molecules • Have weak bond of attraction between molecules. • So very little energy is needed to overcome this attraction. • Therefore covalent molecules have relatively low melting and boiling points. • For example, carbon dioxide (CO2)
Covalent Networks • Contain special covalent bonds which are very strong. • Therefore a lot of energy is needed to overcome this. • Very high melting and boiling points. • For example, silicon dioxide (SO2)
