Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.87P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compound withthe highest melting point among NaCl, CH4, and H2SO4 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The melting point of a molecule depends on the type of intermolecular force of attraction. If the interaction forces are strong, the molecule will have a high melting point and if the interaction forces are weak, the molecule will have a low melting point. On comparing, molecules with covalent bonds have low melting point than the molecules with ionic bonds because ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds.
