New cards
What is the melting point?
The amount of energy required to break a bond to change solid phase of substance to a liquid
2
New cards
What is the general trend when trying to melt?
Stronger bond between atoms of element, more energy required to break bond, meaning it has a higher melting point
3
New cards
What is something common about metals in relation to melting points?
They possess a high melting point
4
New cards
What is something common about non-metals in relation to melting points?
They possess a low melting points
5
New cards
What is common with non-metal carbon processes?
They have the highest melting of all the elements
6
New cards
What is the general trend of the melting points of elements in a periodic table
It increases from left to right
7
New cards
Why does the melting point of elements generally increase from left to right?
The atomic radius decreases, resulting in stronger attraction between the positive nucleus and negative electrons, making it so that it is harder to break bong, meaning it has a higher melting point
