Question Set: Melting and Boiling Points
Table of Contents
- Why are boiling and melting points both listed as the header of the same column of Table 5-1?
- What generalizations can you make about the elements and compounds in Table 5-1? For instance: do all gases, liquids, and solids have similar melting and boiling points?
- Why do you think carbon has the highest melting and boiling points in Table 5-1? Why does hydrogen have the least?
- Why does sodium chloride have a high melting temp, yet dissolve easily in water?
- Why is the atmosphere composed mostly O2 and N2 (which has a melting point of -210°C and boiling point of -196°C), not water?
