boiling poitn shouldnt be confused with Ioinisation energy

neon has a higher ionization energy becasuse force of attractio between nucleus and electrons is much more...but krypton has a much higher boiling point because of the IM forces involved - it has many more and stronger vdw forces than neon and so higher boiling point

ok thanxx aloot!! :)

so whenever it boliling or melting points we will consider IM force rite ????

only for boiling point

NaCl ionic
BCl3 covalent with only weaker Im forces

BCl3 is still covalent compound

doubt you will have to worry about that in Unit 1

just think off types of bonds

ionic bonds, metallic bonds, intermolecular forces, covalent bonds etc

What's the difference between thermodynamic and kinetic stability?

What's the difference between thermodynamic and kinetic stability?

although u dont need it for unit 1 but ill tell ya
kinetic stability is wen the activation energy is very high  and the number of colliding particles that possess that energy is very less so the reaction will not take place.this type of system is called as kinetically stable

thermodynamic stabilty is wen the reaction is very exothermic and so will take place as heat is given out
the products are said to be thermodynamically stable
