Natalka [10]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Mechanism for top reaction is combustion while the side product at bottom path oximes

Explanation:

Hydroxiamine is a reducing agent that requires high temperature to combust in it'd ageous state to produced oxime while water is eliminated. The reverse is the case because the production of water during combustion I does not yield the fight result as it can e very irritating.

Increased temperature stimulates the protons to become free to combust and react with 2 butene and other aldehyde during chemical reaction.
