Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are held in a lattice and do not move freely. However, when they are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity. This is because the ions are free to move in the molten state or aqueous solution.

26. Balance the following equations:<br> Ca(s) + H3PO4(aq)Ca3(PO4)2(s) + H2(g)
yKpoI14uk [10]

Hey there!

Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance PO₄.

1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance H.

6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Balance Ca.

1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Our final balanced equation:

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Hope this helps!

How does a network solid differ from most other covalent compounds
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Covalent compounds are held by intermolecular forces while network solids are held by strong bonds in unit cells which are closely packed together.

Explanation:

Covalent compound molecules are held by vanderwaals forces which are relatively weak but strong enough to hold some covalent molecules together in the solid state. However, network solids contain atom to atom covalent bonds arranged in an orderly manner and regular repeating unit cells to form a rigid three dimensional network solid.
