molecular bonding and properties


Question descriptionChlorine, Cl2, is a simple molecular, covalent subalance. Diamond is a giant molecultrar, covalent substance. Sodium chloride is an ionic substance. Zinc is metallic. As a result of their different structures these substances have the following different properties: – solid chlorine has a very low melting point but diamond, sodium chloride and zinc have a high melting point. – diamond and sodium chloride have different solubilities in water. In terms of the structure and bonding of these substances, explain these properties
