Answer to Question #65178 in General Chemistry for [e-mail]

Question

Metal A melts at 800 degrees
Metal B melts at 194 degrees
Explain this in terms of bonding

Answer 1

The melting temperature depends on the strength of the crystal lattice, forms. When the kinetic energy of the vibrational motion of the crystal lattice sites converts the energy, the metal melt. Different metals different radius, nuclear charge, the number of external components. Therefore, different melting point
