Typical physical properties are size (dimensions), shape (geometry), and melting point (temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid). These properties provide information about how a material behaves under various conditions and are often used to characterize and identify substances.
Diamond and methane have different boiling and melting points because they have different molecular structures and interactions. Diamond is a covalent network solid with strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms, giving it a higher melting and boiling point. Methane, on the other hand, is a simple molecular compound with weak intermolecular forces, leading to lower melting and boiling points.
Yes, ammonia has a higher boiling point than methane. Ammonia boils at -33.34°C, while methane boils at -161.5°C.
