Week 10 Discussion- Changes in State

Hey Scholars!!!

This week is one of our easiest topics we will be covering in Chemistry: The changes in states of matter. For this weeks post try and find a substance with either then lowest melting point or the highest boiling point. The most extreme on each will win a prize. (remind me)

Happy Hunting

well mr. dillman i found out that graphite which is made up of the element carbon has a melting point of 3,675 °C or 3,948 K

1. SiO2. This is macromolecular (it is sand) Very high m.p. and b.p. S02 is simple covalent molecules.
2. LiF has slightly higher m.p and b.p. than CsI. LiF has a greater lattice energy.
3. C5H12 has a higher m.p. and b.p. It is a larger molecule and has a greater degree of van der waals (london) forces
