Why do period 3 oxides melting point differ greatly from period 3 chlorides?
With reference to the question posed, by comparing melting points of MgO and MgCl2, the melting points are 2852 and 714 respectively. I mean, since they're both ionic compounds, what explains the large difference between melting points?
