Na Ma Al Si P Ar
Ar is monatom and hard to polans
AL has a higher melting pont than Na and Maq because t has the
strongest metall1e bonds due to highêr charge On ions and more deloul ised
electrons so theres a stronger electrostatie forces of attracton
hiqher than Pand Cl as the molecule is the largest larger
number of electrons ’ strongest Van der Waal
