Question

Potassium Iodide has a high melting point than benzoic acid.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The given statement is true.The ionic compounds are made up of positive and negative ions which have the strong force of attraction between oppositely charged ions. So, potassium, iodide has a higher melting point a lot of heat energy is required to break this force of attraction and benzoic acid is a covalent compound which is attracted by weak van der Waal force of attraction, so less energy is required to break the bond and have low melting point.
