Q. Explain why magnesium oxide has a much higher
melting point than
sodium chloride.
If you answer this correctly ill mark you as brainliest. ​

Why does Magnesium Oxide have a higher melting point than Sodium Chloride? ... As the charge in the ionic lattice in Magnesium Oxide is two times as large, the ionic bonding is stronger so more energy is required to overcome the electrostatic attraction and break down the ionic lattice.

HI thts way tooo much to answer but ye.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
