  2. Melting points of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_points_of_the...

    The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.

    The melting point of ordinary hexagonal ice falls slightly under moderately high pressures, by 0.0073 °C (0.0131 °F)/atm [h] or about 0.5 °C (0.90 °F)/70 atm [i] [53] as the stabilization energy of hydrogen bonding is exceeded by intermolecular repulsion, but as ice transforms into its polymorphs (see crystalline states of ice) above 209.9 ...

  4. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    Inorganic compounds with simple ions typically have small ions, and thus have high melting points, so are solids at room temperature. Some substances with larger ions, however, have a melting point below or near room temperature (often defined as up to 100 °C), and are termed ionic liquids . [ 64 ]

  5. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Ionic solids are typically of intermediate strength and extremely brittle. Melting points are typically moderately high, but some combinations of molecular cations and anions yield an ionic liquid with a freezing point below room temperature. Vapour pressures in all instances are extraordinarily low; this is a consequence of the large energy ...

    When it is converted to the covalent red phosphorus, the density goes to 2.2–2.4 g/cm 3 and melting point to 590 °C, and when white phosphorus is transformed into the (also covalent) black phosphorus, the density becomes 2.69–3.8 g/cm 3 and melting temperature ~200 °C. Both red and black phosphorus forms are significantly harder than ...

  7. Chlorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

    This term was later used as a generic term to describe all the elements in the chlorine family (fluorine, bromine, iodine), after a suggestion by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1826. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] In 1823, Michael Faraday liquefied chlorine for the first time, [ 26 ] [ 27 ] [ 28 ] and demonstrated that what was then known as "solid chlorine" had a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_nonmetals...

    Its predicted melting and boiling points are 52±15 °C and 177±10 °C respectively, so that it is probably neither noble nor a gas; it is expected to have a density of about 6.6–7.4 g/cm 3 around room temperature. It is expected to have a barely positive electron affinity (estimated as 5 kJ/mol) and a moderate ionisation energy of about 860 ...

  9. Zinc - Wikipedia

    2 has the most ionic character, while the others (ZnCl 2, ZnBr 2, and ZnI 2) have relatively low melting points and are considered to have more covalent character. [68] In weak basic solutions containing Zn 2+ ions, the hydroxide Zn(OH) 2 forms as a white precipitate. In stronger alkaline solutions, this hydroxide is dissolved to form zincates ...
