Answer:
Electrostatic Van de Waals forces act between molecules to form weak bonds. The types of Van der Waals forces, strongest to weakest, are dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and the London dispersion forces. The hydrogen bond is based on a type of dipole-dipole force that is especially powerful. These forces help determine the physical characteristics of materials.
As per the rule, oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2. Oxidation number of oxygen in it's compounds is -2(except peroxides) and the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a neutral compound is zero.
The equation to calculate Density is Mass / Volume. You are given that the density is 5.45 and the mass is 65; 5.45 = 65 / v. So v = 65 / 5.45; v = 11.93 mL (or if you want your answer to consider significant figures, v = 12 mL).
