Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct answer is to be determined regarding the data in the table.
Concept introduction:
Ionic bond is formed through the exchange of valence electron(s) between atoms. It creates two ions with opposite charge. The metal releases electrons in ionic bonds and become positively charged while the nonmetal gains electrons to become negatively charged.
Answer to Problem 8STP
Option D is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The correct answer lies in option D. Based on the data table, it is clear that the highest boiling points are for ionic solids. Both ionic solids have high boiling points, due to the strong attraction between opposite charged ions.
Reason for incorrect option:The data in the table shows that nonpolar covalent bonds have lowest boiling points
In the table, the data shows that of melting point of polar covalent bond is
In the table, the data shows that of melting point of ionic bond is very high
