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.

Cole is working with radioactive particles and has set up a shield made of aluminum for protection. Which of the following will
koban [17]

Answer:

C.) Alpha, beta, and gamma particles

Explanation:

A dense shield of aluminium can protect Cole from all the listed types of radiation produced from the radioactive particles.

A radioactive protector has very unique and specie ability to contain and prevent the movement of radiations of any types from going into the body.

The strongest and most penetrating radiations are the gamma rays. Any material that can prevent the movement of these rays can halt alpha and beta particles too.

An aluminium shield is made up of multiple layers of aluminium stacked together and it provides enough resistance.
