The characteristic that best explains the difference in melting behaviors is

  • Covalent substances have weaker intermolecular attractions  ( C )

The melting point of covalent substances ( i.e. substances bounded by covalent bonding ) is lower than the melting point of ionic substances, this is because of the weak intermolecular attractions which exists in covalent compounds and this makes atoms in covalent substance to dissociate easily .

Hence we can conclude that the characteristic that best explains the difference in melting behaviors is Covalent substances have weaker intermolecular attractions.
