To determine if the compound is an ionic compound, heat it up until the compound reaches its melting point and become molten. Use the molten form to set up an electric circuit and see if the compound will conduct electricity. If the compound conduct electricity then it is an ionic compound. If it does not conduct electricity, it is not an ionic compound. Ionic compounds usually conduct electricity in their molten forms.<span />

Maslowich
If it goes from a volume of x, then when the volume is doubled it will go to a volume of 2x. If you meant what happens to the pressure, then the pressure halves as volume doubles due to Boyle's law.

CCC Structure and Function Why is the arrangement of the constituent atoms or
ozzi

Since the atoms or molecules in a solid do not translate hence, the structures of solids usually described in terms of the positions  of the constituent atoms rather than their motion.

<h3>States of matter</h3>

There are three state of matter which are;

  • Solid
  • Liquid
  • Gas

In a solid, atoms or molecules retain their positions and do not translate, hence, the structure of atoms or molecules are most important in determining the structure of a solid.

Also, the fact that the atoms or  molecules in a solid can only vibrate or rotate explains why the structures of solids usually described in terms of the positions  of the constituent atoms rather than their motion.

What structural feature of lecithin allows it to behave like an emulsifying agent?
stepladder [879]
Lecithin is an emulsifier agent that's composed of 5 smaller molecules: phosphoric acid, choline, glycerol( is the backbone), and two fatty acids. 

The fatty acids, which are hydrophobic (afraid of water), makes this substance more similiar to fats and represent the non-polar part of the lecithin.
The phosphate group is the polar portion of the molecule and it's the negatively charged. The choline is positively charged, which readily dissolve in water<span>.

</span><span>Lecithin is a good emulsifier because of these structural features. the hydrophobic contacts with the oil, while the hydrophilic end contacts with the water.</span>
