(Correct answer)- ○ Black phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is covalent bonds, which require more energy to overcome.- ○ Not enough information is given in order to determine relative melting points.

To answer whether white or black phosphorus has a high melting point and explain the reason.

Elemental phosphorus exists in a few different allotropes, two of which are listed below. White phosphorus: a molecular substance with the formula P4. Black phosphorus: an extended network of phosphorus atoms connected by covalent bonds. Which of these two allotropes would you expect to have the higher melting point and why? White phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is LDFs, which require more energy to overcome. O White phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is covalent bonds, which require more energy to overcome. Black phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is LDFs, which require more energy to overcome. Black phosphorus, because the strongest interaction broken while melting is covalent bonds, which require more energy to overcome. O Not enough information is given in order to determine relative melting points.
