Question

the melting point of two solids a and b are 658 degree C and 113.5 degree C respectively. compare them on the basis of i) inter- particle space ii) inter- particles force of attraction iii) inter- particle movement.

its really helpful if u please answer this

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

(i) Solid 'b' will have more inter-particle space as it requires less kinetic energy (heat) to break apart(melt) as the particles have more space between them.

(ii) Solid 'a' will have more inter-particular forces of attraction as it requires more kinetic energy(heat) to melt, or break apart(particles).

(iii) Solid 'b' will have more inter-particle movement as it has more space in between particles and higher kinetic energy, thus easier to melt.
