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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Natalka [10]4 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.

How would you prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution of CaCl2 from<br> solid CaCl2?
LenKa [72]

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

First, we need to determine the required moles of CaCl₂. We have 500 mL (0.500 L) of a 0.360 M solution (0.360 moles of CaCl₂ per liter of solution).

0.500 L \times \frac{0.360mol}{L} = 0.180 mol

Then, we will convert 0.180 moles to grams using the molar mass of CaCl₂ (110.98 g/mol).

0.180 mol \times \frac{110.98g}{mol} = 20.0 g

To prepare the solution, we weigh 20.0 g of CaCl₂ and add it to a beaker with enough distilled water to dissolve it. We stir it, heat it if necessary, and when we have a solution, we transfer it to a 500 mL flask and complete it to the mark with distilled water.

We need to measure 20.0 grams of CaCl₂ to prepare 500 mL of 0.360 M solution.

How did the development of the earliest idea about atoms differ from the later work of scientists?
IgorLugansk [536]
The earliest idea of the atom is that it is made up of tiny, invisible particles, called the atoms, is believed to have originated from the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student, Democritus of Abdera, around 5th century B.C. However, it wasn't until centuries later that the atomic theory was taken seriously by the society, thanks to the scientist John Dalton by 1808. Hence, the development of the Atomic Theory began until the modern age. Modern scientist has more technological advancements than the early age. Therefore, the modern scientist can view the atom more detailed than before.
