  2. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    Molecular solids have low melting (T m) and boiling (T b) points compared to metal (iron), ionic (sodium chloride), and covalent solids (diamond). [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 8 ] [ 13 ] Examples of molecular solids with low melting and boiling temperatures include argon , water , naphthalene , nicotine , and caffeine (see table below).

  3. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    Water boiling at 99.3 °C (210.8 °F) at 215 m (705 ft) elevation. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid [1] [2] and the liquid changes into a vapor. The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure.

  4. Boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

    The boiling point of an element at a given pressure is a characteristic attribute of the element. This is also true for many simple compounds including water and simple alcohols. Once boiling has started and provided that boiling remains stable and the pressure is constant, the temperature of the boiling liquid remains constant.

  7. Thermal decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_decomposition

    In contrast potassium is near the top of the reactivity series, and potassium sulfate (K 2 SO 4) does not decompose at its melting point of about 1,069 °C (1,342 K; 1,956 °F), nor even at its boiling point.

  8. Boiling-point elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling-point_elevation

    In terms of chemical potential, at the boiling point, the liquid and gas phases have the same chemical potential. Adding a nonvolatile solute lowers the solvent’s chemical potential in the liquid phase, but the gas phase remains unaffected. This shifts the equilibrium between phases to a higher temperature, elevating the boiling point.
