Which would you expect to have the highest melting point? 1. RbCl 2. KCI 3. They have the same melting point Because 4. The internuclear distance is smaller; therefore, the force is stronger and requires more energy to overcome. 5. The charge is higher; therefore, interactions are stronger and require more energy to overcome. 6. They have the same charge and internuclear distance; therefore, interactions are of the same strength and require the same amount of energy to overcome.
