Answer:

The metal cube lattice is made of only one kind of atom.

Explanation:

As we know that metallic crystals are made up of only one kind of element.  A metal crystal is actually a huge sea of positive charges embedded in the layers of negative charges (electrons). The whole crystal is made up of same kind of atoms, e.g crystals of gold, crystals of iron.

If we talk about structure of metallic crystal, it can be body centered cubic, simple cubic, hexagonal or close cubic packing.

Now, coming towards the ionic crystals, we know that they are basically the crystals of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or cesium chloride. These crystals are formed due to ionic bonding between two or more than two kinds of elements/atoms. It is not possible for an ionic crystal to be composed of only one kind of atom. As far as structure is concerned, they can have different structure based on bonding between atoms in an ionic compound, e.g NaCl has octahedral geometry.

Therefore, it is very evident that best option is A.

A student adds 0. 0030 mol of hcl to 100 ml of a 0. 10 m solution of a r2nh, a weak base. The ph of the solution is found to be
egoroff_w [7]

Since an acidic salt solution is produced when a strong acid neutralizes a weak base, the pH of the salt solution formed when HCl is added to R2NH will be less than 7.

<h3>What is a neutralization reaction?</h3>

A neutralization reaction is the react ion between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.

Neutralization reactions can either produce a neutral solution, an acidic solution or an alkaline solution at equivalence point.

When a strong acid is added to a weak base, the pH of the salt solution formed will be less than 7.

Therefore, the pH of the salt solution formed when HCl is added to R2NH will be less than 7.

Why do covalent compounds tend to be squishy?
Sav [38]

Answer:

Since they're easy to separate, covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. 2) Covalent compounds are soft and squishy (compared to ionic compounds, anyway). The reason for this is similar to the reason that covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. When you hit an ionic compound with something, it feels very hard

What forces hold network solids together?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Covalent solids, also called network solids, are solids that are held together by covalent bonds. As such, they need localized electrons (shared between the atoms) and therefore the atoms are arranged in fixed geometries. Distortion far from this geometry can only occur through a breaking of covalent sigma bonds.
