A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.
The other options are <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.
Answer :
The steps involved in the electron dot structure of
are :
First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in
.
Number of valence electrons in N = 5
The charge on N is (-3). So, we add 3 electrons.
Total number of valence electrons = 5 + 3 = 8 electrons
The image is shown below.
Answer:
1 .
2.
Explanation:
The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.
- The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
- The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
Scandium oxide (
) is an oxide in which
behaves as cation and
behaves as anion.
The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:
1 .
This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
2.
This is because the charge on the cation
is greater than that of
and also the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
The answer is: the distance between two nuclei is 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m.
r(Na⁺) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of sodium cation.
r(F⁻) = 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of fluoride anion.
d(NaF) = r(Na⁺) + r(F⁻).
d(NaF) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m + 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m.
d(NaF) = 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m; distance between two nuclei.
The sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice.
