MELTING/ BOILING POINTS

• WHAT CAN MELTING AND BOILING POINTS TELL US?

  whether structure is giant or simple molecular
• WHAT SYMBOLISES A SIMPLE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE?

  low melting and boiling points
• WHAT SYMBOLISES A GIANT STRUCTURE?

  high melting and boiling points
• DO HIGH MELTING AND BOILING POINTS SYMBOLISE A SIMPLE MOLECULAR OR GIANT STRUCTURE?

  giant
• DO LOW MELTING AND BOILING POINTS SYMBOLISE A SIMPLE MOLECULAR OR GIANT STRUCTURE?

  simple molecular
• WHAT ARE MELTING AND BOILING POINTS DETERMINED BY?

  strength of intermolecular forces
• WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MELTING AND BOULING SIMPLE MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS?

  intermolecular forces between molecules are broken (not covalent bonds within them)
