Explain why larger molecules tend to have higher melting points and boiling points than smaller molecules.

Explain why larger molecules tend to have higher melting points and boiling points than smaller molecules. This objective belongs to Properties of small molecules within How bonding and structure are related to the properties of substances for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. A strong answer should use boiling point accurately, explain the chemistry behind the statement, and connect the idea back to the exact command in the objective. When revising, separate this point from neighbouring Chemistry ideas by naming the relevant particle, substance, process, calculation, observation, or structure before giving the final conclusion.
