Explain the variation in the melting points of the group 1 metals.
2.The following diagram shows the electron density distributions formed when bromide ions interact with lithium and sodium ions.
Based on the diagram, suggest why the melting point of lithium bromide is lower than that of sodium bromide.
2.Lithium is a good electrical conductor, whereas lithium bromide is an electrical insulator.
