Some examples of amorphous solids include rubber, plastic, and gels. Glass is a very important amorphous solid that is made by cooling a mixture of materials in such a way that it does not crystallize. Glass is sometimes referred to as a supercooled liquid rather than a solid.

Why is Sodium chloride a compound but not a molecule? I thought all the compounds are molecule but not all molecules are compoun

Firdavs [7]

Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
Well, if a molecule is considered to be a discrete small unit made up of atoms joined together, then NaCl, and any other ionic solid is not really a molecule. In NaCl we have a repetitive crystal structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl- ions, and vice-versa, for as far as the crystal extends. There really isn't such a thing as an NaCl molecule.

What is the name of IBr4?<br> And is it covalent or ionic?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: The name of the $IBr_4$ is Iodine tetrabromide and it is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

Inter-halogen compounds are compounds which composed of two different halogen atoms. For example ; $ICl_3,IF_5$ etc.

The naming is done by first writing the central atom symbol's name followed by the prefix corresponding to the number of atoms of another halogen atom like: Mono for 1, di ,for 2 tri for 3, tetra for 4 , penta for 5 etc. After this name of the another halogen is written with suffix 'ide' in the end.

The name of the $IBr_4$ is Iodine tetra bromide.

In halogen compounds, the difference in electronegativities is not so large due to which they form covalent compounds by the means of sharing the electrons. Hence the Iodine tetrabromide covalent compound.
