Explanation:
As we known that an ionic solid is a solid whose atoms chemically combine together by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
For example, is an ionic solid because transfer of electrons take place from calcium to chlorine.
As a result, calcium atom has a partial positive change and chlorine atom has a partial negative charge. Hence, there will be strong intermolecular forces of attraction between the two because opposite charges attract each other.
Therefore, particles will be arranged in a regular crystal lattice of opposite charges.

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.
See attached image for the structure formula of the compound
Answer:
(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃ named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane
Explanation:
If we number the longest chain of the carbon starting from the left, we will observe that there are four carbons in the straight chain as shown in the image.
Starting from first carbon from the left of the carbon chain, at carbon number number 2, there two alkyl group, that is two methyl (CH3 is two). Also at carbon number 3, there are three alkyl group, that is three methyl (CH3 is three).
The condensed formula will be written as;
(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃
This compound is named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane, an isomer of Heptane
