Hi, I just want to know what basically determines MP of an element. I am assuming with smaller size i.e, less electronegativity it should increase because the bond between the atoms will be stronger and they will be more tightly packed and it will require more heat to melt them.

How does number of bonding electrons affect MP?with larger number of bonding electrons stronger bonds are formed and again MP should increase right?
Please help.
Cheers!
