Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the external pressure on the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor. Melting point is the temperature at which the lattice is collapses and the solid is converted into liquid. The trend in structure is from the metallic oxides containing giant structures of ions on the left of the period via a giant covalent oxide in the middle to molecular oxides on the right. Sodium peroxide, magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide are metallic oxide which have high melting and boiling point compared to other period 3 oxide. This is due to their giant ionic structure and the strong ionic bond. Strong ionic bond in the molecule need more energy to overcome it. Therefore, the more energy required, the higher the melting and boiling point. Aluminum oxide will have higher melting and boiling point than magnesium oxide because Al3+ ions having

    1. Melting point is the range it begins when the compound first starts to turn to liquid, and it should only be within a few degrees. However if the temperature is raised too fast, the initial reading will be missed and it would not be very accurate, therefore it is necessary to raise the temperature very slowly for accuracy.…

    Our results seemed to largely agree with the established solubility rules/table; however, a few reactions with the commonality of being mixed with Co(NO3)2 (cobalt nitrate) [reference Row A, Columns 2, 3, and 4] seemed to have such a pale pink tone that it was difficult to decide whether that could have been a precipitate or the lighting in the area where the experiment took place. Ultimately, our lab group came to the decision that no reaction occurred.…

    Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. The electrostatic attraction in an ionic bond is very strong hence a lot of heat energy is required to break it down, ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points. In covalent bonds, the intermolecular forces are very weak and are easily broken, hence lesser heat is required and thus covalent bonds have lower melting and boiling points.…

    According to Lee Lerner, (2008), “Hydrogen Peroxide is most widely found in homes in brown bottles containing three percent solutions (3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water).” Lee Lerner (2008) writes “Hydrogen Peroxide is a colorless liquid that mixes with water and is widely used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent.” Hydrogen Peroxide is used in many different ways and has different hazards. “Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective.” (“Hydrogen” 2004). “Hydrogen peroxide is clear, colorless, water like in appearance, and has a characteristic pungent odor.

    Chemical compounds are combinations of atoms held together by chemical bonds. These chemical bonds are of two basic types—ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds result when one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms is transferred to another atom. Positive and negative ions are created through the transfer. In covalent compounds no electrons are transferred; instead electrons are shared by the bonded atoms.…
