Which has a higher melting point and why? LiF or Rbl?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

To get a better understanding of the answer,let's take use of Fajan's rule which says that no bond is neither purely covalent or purely ionic.

For ionic compounds MP and BP are higher than covalent compounds. So in order to find the one with higher MP,it's enough to find the most ionic compound among the given options.

In LiF,LiCl,LiBr and LiI,The cation is same and anion only differs.According to Fajans rule Smaller anion and larger cation favours ionic bonding and vice versa. Since Fluoride is the smallest anion,LiF is the most ionic compound and hence it is the one with highest MP from the options.Hope it helps

Which of the following is the best definition of matter?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

4.Anything that has mass

Explanation:

In order to appreciate what matter is, we must first know that matter is the 'stuff' that makes up the universe. Everything in the universe is composed of matter. Matter in turn is made up of atoms. Intact mass is the quantity of matter in a body.

All matter must have mass and occupy space. Hence all matter must have a measurable mass. This is a fundamental property of all matter. Hence every object in the universe has mass because it is composed of matter. We find matter in our plates, spoons , clothes and indeed everything we see in the universe! For instance, you can measure the mass of a spoon because it is made of matter which has mass and occupy space.

A hydrocarbon molecule has seven carbon
Damm [24]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a linear chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms is attached by single bonds only then it is known as alkane.

When  a linear chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms contains a double bond then it is known as alkene.

When  a linear chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms contains a triple bond then it is known as alkyne.

Therefore, in the given description there is a double bond between third and fourth carbon. Hence, the IUPAC name of given compound is 3-heptene.

Will a chlorine atom gain or lose electrons? <br> Gain or Lose
user100 [1]

Answer:

Chlorine (Cl) in its lowest energy state (called the ground state) has seven electrons in its outer shell. Again, it is more energy-efficient for chlorine to gain one electron than to lose seven. ... In the formation of an ionic compound, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons to achieve an octet.
