Molecules are made up by chemically bonding two or more atoms of the same element or different elements, they don’t have charge, and the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. Lattices have a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units (that can be an atom, molecule or an ion). Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. The formula unit tells us that aluminium hydroxide has a crystal structure made from molecules.

Answer:

A crystal lattice is a solid in which the particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.

A molecule is a discrete unit of atoms that is bonded together.

Many ions come together to form a crystal.

The formula unit of an ionic compound represents the smallest ratio of ions in the crystal.

The lattice of aluminum hydroxide has three OH- ions for every Al3+ ion.

any of those are right

An experiment produced 0.10 g CO2, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of CO2 at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is t

Pachacha [2.7K]

The density of CO2 getting from experiment is 0.1/0.056 = 1.79 g/L. The percent error of this is (1.96 -1.79)/1.96*100%=8.67%. So the approximate percent error is 8.67%.

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large ________ peaks.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: M-18

Explanation:

The mass spectra of alcohols often fail to exhibit detectable M peaks but instead show relatively large __M-18___ peaks.

Mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass and molecular formula of a sample.

When the mass spectra of alcohols do not show detectable M peaks, they show relatively large M-18 peaks.

Which of the substances has polar interactions (dipole–dipole forces) between molecules?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

CHCl3 has dipole-dipole interactions.

Explanation:

Trichloromethane has a electric dipole moment permanently pointing along the line parallel with the Hydrogen carbon axis.Dipole-dipole interactions are said to be intermolecular force of attractions that is formed from two permanent dipoles interacting.

These type of interactions are occurring when one of the partially charged formed molecule are being attracted to an opposite partially charged molecule nearby . The molecules align in a state that the positive end of one of the molecule gets interacting with the negative end of the another molecule.
