Which molecular solid would have the highest melting point?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Choice B. The solid with hydrogen bonding.

Assumption: the molecules in the four choices are of similar sizes.

Explanation:

Molecules in a molecular solid are held intact with intermolecular forces. To melt the solid, it is necessary to overcome these forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy will be required to overcome these attractions and melt the solid. That corresponds to a high melting point.

For molecules of similar sizes,

  • The strength of hydrogen bonding will be stronger than the strength of dipole-dipole attractions.
  • The strength of dipole-dipole attractions (also known as permanent dipole) will be stronger than the strength of the induced dipole attractions (also known as London Dispersion Forces.)

That is:

Strength of Hydrogen bond > Strength of Dipole-dipole attractions > Strength of Induced dipole attractions.

Accordingly,

Melting point due to Hydrogen bond > Melting point due to Dipole-dipole attractions > Melting point due to Induced Dipole attractions.

  • Induced dipole is possible between all molecules.
  • Dipole-dipole force is possible only between polar molecules.
  • Hydrogen bonds are possible only in molecules that contain \rm H atoms that are bonded directly to atoms of \rm F, \rm O, or \rm N.

As a result, induced dipoles are the only force possible between molecules of the solid in choice C. Assume that the molecules are of similar sizes, such that the strengths of induced dipole are similar for these molecules.

Melting point in choice B > Melting point in choice D > Melting point in choice A and C.

A 10.0 g pat of butter raise the water level in a graduated cylinder by 11.6 mL. What is the density of the butter
Nina [5.8K]

- formula for density is mass divided by volume

therefore density of butter = 10.0g divided by 11.6ml = 0.8620689 g/cm³ ≈ 0.862 g/cm³ (3sf)

Which of the following is an example of qualitative
vichka [17]

Answer:

Option =C each mouse in the study has brown ears.

Explanation:

Qualitative:

Qualitative properties are those that can be only observed but not measured in numerical values. These are observed through senses: touch, sight, smell, taste and hear.

For example:

Color, odor, brittleness, taste etc.

Quantitative:

Quantitative properties can be measured in numerical values.

For example:

Melting point, boiling point, conductivity, viscosity, density, hardness and solubility.

In short we can say that qualitative is a measure of quality while the quantitative is a measure of quantity.

Which is the electron configuration for bromine? 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p5 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 1s22s22p63s23p44s23d104p5 1
Svetach [21]

Answer : The correct option is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5

Explanation :

The given element bromine belongs to the group 17 and period 4. The symbol of bromine is, Br.

The atomic number of bromine = 35

The total number of electrons present in bromine element = 35

Electronic configuration : It is defined as the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Hence, the correct electronic configuration of bromine is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5
