Question

the melting point of ice is 273k and sulphur is 368k. what is the possible reason for this

Answer 1

because of H-bonding

Answer 2

Hello dear,

● Melting point -
- It is the temperature at which a given solid will melt.

● Melting point of sulphur is more than that for ice because -
- Melting point of the substance depend on the intermolecular attraction forces.
- Suplhur structure has covalent bonds while ice involves hydrogen bonds.
- Covalent bonds are hard to break that hydrogen bonds.
- Therefore, sulphur has high melting point (368 K) than that of ice (273 K).

Hope this helps...
