Melting point rate

Melting points are the amount of energy required to break a bond(s) to change the solid phase of a substance to a liquid. Generally, the stronger the bond between the atoms of an element, the higher the energy requirement in breaking that bond. Since temperature is directly proportional to energy, a high bond dissociation energy correlates to a high temperature. Melting points are varied and don't generally form a distinguishable trend across the periodic table. However, certain conclusions can be drawn from the following graph.

👌Metals generally possess a high melting point.
👌Most non-metals possess low melting points.
👌The non-metal carbon possesses the highest boiling point of all the elements. The semi-metal boron also possesses a high melting point.
