Answer:

The temperature at which a glass transforms from a liquid to solid.

Explanation:

Glass transition temperature is defined for polymers, so is the temperature at above which the soft and ductile polymer changes into hard britle material. It basically increases the viscosity of the material. Glass transition temperature is less than the melting point temperature. So, the polymer initially showing liquid like characteristics after transition temperature shows solid like characteristics.

So, the correct answer is

The temperature at which a glass transforms from a liquid to solid.

Can Hydrocyanic acid be a Lewis Acid? What about a Lewis Base?

FinnZ [79.3K]

HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.

The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,

Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

$\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731$ .................1
