Why is the melting point of NaCl higher than mgcl2?

Both sodium chloride and magnesium chloride are ionic solids. Also, magnesium is more electronegative as compared to sodium. These factors combine to result in a higher force of attraction in sodium chloride as compared to magnesium chloride and hence a higher melting point for the former.

Why melting point of NaCl is higher than cacl2?

So from everything I’ve learned, NaCl would be more effective for the melting, because calcium chloride dissociates into three ions and sodium chloride dissociates into two, so that would make the boiling point of water with calcium chloride higher.

What is the formula for MgI2?

What best explains the high melting point of the salt?

Ions are charged atoms, and they bond to one another electrostatically via those charges. Since opposite charges are greatly attracted to each other, ionic bonds are very strong. As a result, ionic salts like NaCl have very high melting points (the melting point of NaCl is 801 degrees C).

How to predict the Order of melting points of Group 2 chlorides?

The order of melting points of group 2 chlorides is: $$\\ce{BaCl2 > SrCl2 > CaCl2 > MgCl2 > BeCl2}$$ This is completely understandable by Fajan’s Rules.

How does melting point go down Group 2?

Melting point. There is a general decrease in melting point going down group 2. However, if you include magnesium, you will see that its melting point is lower than the melting point of calcium, the next element down. If you include magnesium, there is no obvious trend in melting points (see below).

Why is the melting point of alkali metals lower than sodium halides?

Evidently greater the lattice energy, higher is the melting point of the alkali metals halide and lower is its solubility in water. For the same halide ion, the melting point of lithium halides are lower than those of the corresponding sodium halides and thereafter they decrease as we move down the group from Na to Cs.

Why is the melting point of LiCl lower than NaCl?

For the same halide ion, the melting point of lithium halides are lower than those of the corresponding sodium halides and thereafter they decrease as we move down the group from Na to Cs. The low melting point of LiCl (887 K) as compared to NaCl is probably because LiCl is covalent in nature and NaCl is ionic.
