Topical Questions

These questions are keyed to the major topics in the chapter. Usually a question that is answered at the back of this book is paired with a similar one that is not.

The ions of NaF and MgO all have the same number of electrons, and the internuclear distances are about the same (235 pm and 212 pm). Why, then, are the melting points of NaF and MgO so different (992 °C and 2642 °C, respectively)?
