Experiment 1 - Melting Points Introduction The Melting point of a substance (the temperature at which a substance melts) is a physical property that can be used for its identification. It is a measure of the amount of kinetic energy (heat) that must be supplied to the particles of the substance in order to overcome the intermolecular forces (such as Van der Waals, dipole-dipole, and H-bonding) that confine them to the solid state. The determination of Melting Points is particularly important to organic chemists, since they often work with solid molecular compounds that have low Melting Points (below 300 C) and which can be conveniently measured. Organic compounds are used in this Experiment for the same reasons.
