Which of the following best explains why ionic crystals are brittle?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago

Packing

Explanation:

Ionic crystals are  brittle due to the tight packing of their crystals. This provides little to no mobility between one another.

  • Brittleness implies having little to no elasticity.
  • Ionic crystals are held together by strong crystal lattice forces
  • These forces prevents crystals from freely rotating and moving space.
  • It holds them rigidly and fixed in place.
  • Ionic crystals are hard and held electrostatic forces.

A students drawing of a nitrogen atom is shown. What change would make the model more accurate?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

C - show 7 neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Use process of elimination:

-Answer A will not work because electrons are not in the nucleus.

-Answer B will change the atom's identity from nitrogen to fluorine; it will not work.

-Answer D will create a nitrogen ion, which is not what the prompt is asking for (an atom); it will not work.

The only logical answer is C, as that is the only one that is also true.

The mole fraction of a non-electrolyte (MM 40.0 g/mol) in a saturated aqueous solution is 0.310. What is the molality of the sol
jeka57 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mole fraction of saturated aqueous solution = 0.310

This means that 0.310 moles of non-electrolyte is present.

Moles of water (solvent) = 1 - 0.310 = 0.690 moles

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of water = 0.690 moles

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.690mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.690mol\times 18g/mol)=12.42g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality}=\frac{n_{solute}\times 1000}{W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

n_{solute} = Moles of solute (non-electrolyte) = 0.310 moles

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = 12.42 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=\frac{0.310\times 1000}{12.42}\\\\\text{Molality of non-electrolyte}=24.96m

Hence, the molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

Wich describes a characteristic of terminal moraine
stealth61 [152]
I found this....

Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.
