Question

Does carbon habe exceptionally high melting and boiling points

Answer 1

yes

carbon being a nonmetal still have a high melting and boiling point

for example an allotrope of carbon - diamond is the hardest natural substance and have very high metlting and boiling point

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.
