Question:
Do small molecules have low/high melt/boiling points, Why?
Author: MiqdaamAnswer:
- Most have low melt/boiling points - The intermolecular forces are much weaker than the covalent bonds - ∴ relatively small amounts of energy is needed to break these intermolecular bonds - The bigger the molecule, the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melt/boiling points
