Frequently Asked Question
Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Does increase in polarity increase the melting point?
Accepted Answer
Generally, yes. Increased polarity leads to stronger intermolecular forces like dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding, which require more energy to overcome, resulting in higher melting points. However, other factors like molecular size and shape also play a role.
