Answer to Question #60133 in General Chemistry for Ananya

Question

The melting point of four solids A B C D are 68,265,100,154 degree celcius. Arrange them in increasing order of their interparticle forces of attraction.

Answer 1

Stronger intermolecular forces → higher melting point (need energy to brake the intermolecular force between the particles of solid).
A(68°) < C(100°) < D(154°) < B(256°)

Answer: A < C < D < B.
