Q

the trend in melting point of the Group II elements Ca–Ba.

A

Trend: Decreases
Increase in size of ion/atom / more shells / decrease in charge density / decrease in charge size ratio
Weaker attraction for delocalised/free/sea of electrons / weaker metallic bonding

Q

Melting point of ice compared to sodium chloride

A

Attraction between ions in sodium chloride is very strong
Covalent bonds in ice are very strong
Hydrogen bonds between water molecules in ice are much weaker
