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.

How many atoms are in 3 NaCl?
Assoli18 [71]

Explanation:

Sodium Chloride or NaCl is made up of two elements, sodium (or Na) and chlorine (or Cl). A molecule of sodium chloride, NaCl, consists of one atom each of sodium and chlorine. Hence, each molecule of NaCl has 2 atoms total.

When bromine water is shaken with a liquid organic compound it is rapidly
dybincka [34]

answer:

This allows us to tell alkenes apart from alkanes using a simple chemical test. Bromine water is an orange solution of bromine. It becomes colourless when it is shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, but alkanes cannot.
