Qualitatively estimate the relative melting points for each of the solids, and rank them in decreasing order. Rank from highest to lowest melting point.

A. ammonia
B. calcium
C. chloride
D. quartz

Respuesta :

Answer:

The order is

Quartz > Calcium > Ammonia > Chlorine

Explanation:

Among given compounds

Quartz is a covalent compound with extensive bondings and thus it will have highest melting point

Calcium is a metal so it will have strong metallic bonds thus will have high melting point, however less than quartz.

ammonia is a polar molecule with weak hydrogen bond as intermolecular interactions thus will have higher melting point than chlorine

chlorine is a non polar molecule with weak intermolecular london dispersion forces.

Answer:

Quartz > Calcium > Ammonia > Chlorine
