How is melting point related to the intermolecular forces of attraction?

If the intermolecular forces are strong, you need more energy--and thus a higher melting point--to overcome them.

Meaning of melting point:

• The temperature at which a substance changes state from solid to liquid.

So what is the purpose of ?

• Holding two molecules together, which helps to keep the substance in a given state.

If the intermolecular forces are strong, you need more energy to overcome them.

• In the case of melting points, the particles in a solid are held by intermolecular forces. To convert the solid into a liquid, you must overcome the intermolecular forces.
