True or False Questions

Question

Ionic compounds generally have lower boiling and melting points than covalent compounds. True or False.

anonymous · Answer

FALSE!!!   Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons, hence the bonding is relatively weak. On the other hand, ionic compounds are formed by the transferring of electrons thus strong electrostatic forces holds the compound together, the strength in these forces co-existing within the ionic compounds require a large amount of energy to break it apart hence boiling and melting points are high.
