Melting Point and Boiling Points of Ionic and Covalent Compounds
• Melting point– According to Kinetic Molecular Theory• Particles in solids vibrate• As temperature increases, vibration increases• If the particles gain enough kinetic energy they can
break apart from neighbouring particles• When particles have enough energy to break away, the
melting point has been reached• Higher melting point – attraction between particles is
higher.

Boiling Point and Kinetic Molecular Theory
• In liquids, particles have enough energy to break away from neighbouring particles, but they are attracted to other particles
• At the boiling point – particles have enough kinetic energy to break away from all other particles and become a gas.
• High boiling point – forces b/n particles are strong
• Low boiling point – forces b/n particles are weak

How is bond type related to boiling point?
• Look at the results of your 2 lists.• How do they compare?• What does this tell you about the relative
bond strength of each type of bond?• Explain your results by referring to the Kinetic
Molecular Theory

Types of Forces Between Particles• Attractive Electrostatic Forces – occur b/n ions
of opposite charge they are strong• Dipole-dipole Forces – occur between the
positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another happens in polar molecules weak
• London Dispersion Forces – occur between any 2 molecules. Caused by the random movement of electrons...this creates temporary dipoles very weak
