Halite crystals are isometric crystals, meaning that unit cells of the crystal are cube shaped, which is why they're also called cubic crystals.

Halite crystals are isometric in nature with a cube, being their unit cells.

Further explanation:

Crystal structure or lattice is the three-dimensional representation of atoms and molecules arranged in a specific manner. The unit cell is the tiniest part of the lattice that is repeated in all directions to yield the crystal lattice. There are 3 major types of cubic unit cells as follows:

1. The simple cubic unit cell (sc)

2. Body-centered unit cell (bcc)

3. Face-centered unit cell(fcc)

Halite is also known as rock salt, sea salt or table salt. It is composed of sodium chloride (NaCl). NaCl is an ionic crystalline compound made up of  {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^+} and {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^-}  ions.

Coordination number is the number of ions surrounding an ion of opposite charge. Each {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^+}  is surrounded by 6 {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^-}  ions and vice-versa. So the coordination number of both {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^+}  and {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^-}  ions in the structure of NaCl is 6.

Halite crystals are isometric crystals. This is because they have their unit cells in the form of a cube. Due to this reason, halite crystals are also known as cubic crystals.

Boyle's law only works when a gas is kept at a constant temperature. Experimentally this is very tricky as changes in pressure o
Lady bird [3.3K]

The heat that creates this temperature change coming from change in the internal energy of the system as per as first law of thermodynamics.

<h3>What is Boyle's law ?</h3>

A law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.

As we know, Boyle's law only works when the gas is kept at a constant temperature

Here,

When volume of gases decreased, it means work done has occurred on the system, so the work done is used for raising internal energy of the gas and the other is released as the thermal energy.

So,

According to 1st law of thermodynamics,

we know  Q =  ΔU + W  i.e, change in internal energy and work done. So this is a reason. Changing temperature occurs.

Which compound is an Arrhenius base?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
I was hoping that some choices would be given to choose from. As there are no choices given, so i am answering the question based on my knowledge and hope that it comes to your help. Calcium hydroxide is a good example of Arrhenius base. An Arrhenius base is actually a substance that releases a hydroxyl ion in water.
