What type of solid has the highest melting point?

Chemistry

Answer: B -Network solids

Ionic solids are held by positive and negative charged ions bonded by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic force is much stronger than dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding.

Molecular solids are held by dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, or hydrogen bonds. Benzene is an example of this. These inter-molecular force are much weaker than electrostatic force.

The metallic bonds are much weaker than electrostatic force. Similarly, in non-metallic solids the atoms are held by covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are weaker than the electrostatic force.

Thus we can conclude that electrostatic force is the strongest when compared to  dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding,covalent and metallic bonds. Thus ionic solids will have the highest melting point as more energy is required to break the ionic bonds as this is the strongest bond compared to the other bonds.

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. network solid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A network solid has the highest melting point.

The reason being that all of the atoms in this type of solid are covalently bonded to one another so the covalent bonds must be broken throughout the substance.

These covalent bonds holding the solid together are stronger than the ionic bonds. So it means that more heat energy is needed to break these bonds and therefore a higher temperature is required for it.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

3,29L

Explanation:

3.29L = V2

 

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

--------------------

Given:

V1 = 3.0 L V2 = ?

T1 = 310 K T2 = 340 K

--------------------

Plugin:

(X stands in place of V2 just to make it easier to look at)

[3.0L / 310K = X / 340K]

(3.0L / 310K = 0.01L/K)

0.01L/K = X / 340K

(multiply 340K on both sides, it cancels out on the right)

0.01L/K * 340K = X

(0.01L/K * 340K = 3.29L)

**3.29L = X**

[or]

**3.29L = V2**

what is the molecular formula for a compound with the empirical formula: K2SO4 and a molecular mass of 696g​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is supposed to represent sulfate or not

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of K2SO4 first:

2K + S + 4O ≈ 174 g/mol

Divide the goal molar mass of 696 by the molar mass of the empirical formula:

696 / 174 = 4

This means you need to multiply everything in the empirical formula by 4:

K2SO4 --> K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is for sulfate or not

The biosphere of the earth is made up of _______compounds.<br> A. Inorganic <br> B. Organic
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

When we say "biosphere", we're referring to the atmosphere, geosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere, and everything in them. You've probably heard of these in class as the "pillars of Earth" or the "pillars of our planet". In other words, when we talk about biosphere we're talking about life.

Organic compounds are all of the compounds that contain carbon, C, in them. You might know that CHNOPS* are the "7 molecules of life", and you might have noticed that Carbon stands first in the list, and that's not because it makes up a mnemonic, Carbon is indeed the most important one in many ways.

*Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur.

Hope it helped,
