Explanation:

Ionic crystals

1. They are formed by electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion.

2. Naturally solid and brittle in nature.

3.Generally good conductors of electricity in moltane state and have high melting and boiling points.

Example: NH4Cl is an inonic compound with NH4^+ being cation and Cl- being anion.

Molecular Solid

1. These are formed by sharing of electrons pair between the atoms. A shared pair of e- is called a covalent bond.

2. Usually not a good conductor of electricity even in melted state.

3. They mostly liquids and gases only a few are solids.

examples , CO, CO2 , H2CO3 , etc.

The following reaction has been reported in the chemical literature and gives a single organic product in high yield. Write the

Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

The principle applied is the Markovnikoff's rule which states that when hydrogen chloride adds to a double bond, the hydrogen atoms join to the carbon that already has the most hydrogen atoms bonded to it. The rule wa postulated by a russian chemist known as Vladimir Markovnikoff.

In the markovnikoff's rule, there are sveral conditions that must be met, one of them is that no free radicals must be involved.

The reaction and the structure of the product is as shown in the attachment.

The monomer of poly(vinyl chloride) has the formula C2H3Cl. If there are 1,565 repeat units in a single chain of the polymer, wh

Answer:

$\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}$

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

$\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}$
