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.

List 10 uses of composite

REY [17]

Aerospace

Thermoset composites are being specified for wings, fuselages, bulkheads, and other applications in commercial, civilian and military aerospace applications.

Appliance/Business

Thermoset composite are being used in frames, equipment panels, handles and trims in appliances, power tools, business equipment and many other applications.

Thermoset composites for the appliance industry are used in washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers for components that include control panels, handles, knobs, vent trims, side trims, motor housings, kick plates and many others.

Automotive/Transportation/Farm/Construction

Composites are now being used in vehicle and equipment applications, including, panels, frames, interior components and other parts.

Civil Infrastructure

Some composite infrastructure applications include buildings, roads, bridges and pilings.

Construction

Thermoset composites are replacing many traditional materials for home and offices architectural components including fixtures, doors, wall panels, roofing, window frames, moulding, vanity sinks, shower stalls and even swimming pools.

Corrosive Environments

Composites are ideal for applications in corrosive environments, such as chemical processing plants, pulp and paper converting, oil and gas refineries and water treatment facilities. Common applications include fans, grating, tanks, ducts, hoods, pumps and cabinets.

Electrical

With strong dielectric properties including arc and track resistance, Thermoset components include substation equipment, microwave antennas, standoffs and pole line hardware and printed wiring boards. Applications and components include switchgear, motor controls, standoff insulators, control system components, circuit breakers, arc chutes, arc shields, terminal blocks, terminal boards, metering devices, bus supports and lighting components.

Marine

With their corrosion resistance and light-weighting attributes, Marine composite applications include boat hulls, bulkheads and other components for military, commercial and recreational boats and ships.

What is the electron configuration of an element with atomic number 20? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 B. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 C. 1s2 2s2

Cerrena [4.2K]

D. The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element. Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell. So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

Calculate the molecular (formula) mass of each compound: (a) iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate; (b) sulfur tetrachloride; (c) potass

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a) Iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate: 245,68 g/mol

b) Sulfur tetrachloride: 173,87 g/mol

c) Potassium ermanganate 158,034 g/mol

Explanation:

To solve this kind of exercises you must look for the number of atoms in each molecule first, then look on the periodic table the atom weight and the multiply the atom weight times the quantity of each atom. For instance:

The molecule of Iron(II) acetate itetrahydrate is (CH3COO)2Fe•4H2O, it means that you have:

2 atoms of carbon times the atomic weight of C (12.00g/mol)= 24g

14 atoms of Hidrogen times the atomic weight of H (1,00g/mol)= 14g

6 atoms of Oxigen times the atomic weight of O (16,0g/mol)= 96

2 atoms of Iron times the atomic weight of Fe (55,84g/mol)= 111,68g

At last, you only have to add the results: 24+14+96+11,68= 245,68g/mol. This example was for the first molecule.

See you,
