What experiment can I make to differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular bonds according to their freezing point?
Answer Hi Rebeca, This is a difficult question to answer. There is very little differentiation between Covalent and molecular bonds and even ionic bonds are also a type of molecular bond. Most ionic bonds are between a metal and a non-metalic molecule like NaCl (sodium cloride or table salt). In water the ionic bond allows these to break up to a degree and create free floating ions of both. With Covalent and molecular bonds, these can be metal to metal or non-metal to metal etc… so there is a much wider range on substances which derive from this. In all three cases these bonds “stabilize” the new molecule so that it is “Electrically neutral” and is no longer reactive. Some substances are poorly reactive to begin with like Gold or Platinum which is why these do not corrode in most environments. The freezing point/melting point is also a point at which the molecular bonds may decompose as well so some substances can not survive across this temperature. I’m sorry that I can not help you
