Question

explain in terms of its structure and bonding why sodium fluoride has high melting point?​

Answer 1

Sodium fluoride has a high melting point due to hydrogen bonding in it's aqueous solution and in it's free state the fluoride ions being smaller are closely packed so NaF has a higher inter ionic attraction between Na+ and F-

Answer 2

Answer:

-

Explanation:

Sodium fluoride is in the structure of an ionic lattice. It has a high melting point because the force of attraction between the two oppositely charged ions (Na+ and F-) is really strong, and requires a lot of heat energy to break them.
