When melting S₈,________ forces must be overcome and S₈ is expected to have a ________ melting point than MgS. A)covalent bonding,higher B)covalent bonding,lower C)intermolecular,higher D)intermolecular,lower

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

S8 is a molecular solid with weak intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces) that need to be overcome when melting, resulting in a lower melting point compared to the ionic compound MgS, which has strong ionic bonds.

When Melting S8,________ Forces Must Be Overcome and S8 Is
