Suppose you have a crystal composed of elements X and Y in which the radius ratio is approximately ½, so that the sodium chlorid

e lattice is possible. Each ion is about the same size as Na+ and Cl-, respectively, but each ion is doubly charged X++ and Y--. Would XY (s) have a higher or lower melting point than NaCl (s)?

Answer:

XY would have a higher melting point than NaCl.

Explanation:

The electrostatic force (F) between ions in an ionic lattice can be estimated using Coulomb's Law.

F=k.\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{r^{2} }

where,

k is the Coulomb's constant

q₁ and q₂ are the charges of the ions

r is the distance between the ions

X⁺⁺ and Y⁻⁻ are doubly charged with respect to Na⁺ and Cl⁻ so the force between them is 4 times the force between Na⁺ and Cl⁻. Since the force is stronger, it would require more energy to break it to take it to the liquid state, so a higher melting point is expected.

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

How many moles of water are in 1.23x10^18 water molecules
Harlamova29_29 [7]

By 1.23 x 1024 you mean 10 to the power of 24 molecules? If so all you need to do is divide the number of molecules you have by Avagadros number, 6.022 x 10^23. This will give you the mols of water, or the mols of anything, since there is always 6.022 x 10^23 molecules in 1 mol of substance.


1.23x10^24 atoms/6.022x10^23 atom/mol = 2.04 mol H20

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due<br> to its effectiveness as a poison.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!
