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.

For the energy diagram of the chemical reaction depicted here, which statement is the best conclusion?
34kurt

The reaction shown here is an exothermic reaction.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

An exothermic reaction is one in which the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products. This implies that energy is given out in the process. Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic shows in the nature of the reaction profile curve.

For an endothermic reaction, the part of the diagram that represents the energy of the products is higher than the part that represents the energy of the reactants. This is clear from the image attached here.

If we look at the reaction graph very well, we will observe that the energy of the reactants is far above that of the products. Thus it follows that the reaction shown here is an exothermic reaction.
