Answer:
b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic
Explanation:
The coordination number is defined as <em>the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice</em>. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.
- In the <u>primitive cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 6 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 6</u>.
- In the <u>body-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 8 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.
- In the <u>face-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 12 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.
Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.
Answer:
If the hydrated salt is overheated, it causes the anhydrous salt to decompose, causing the product to be lost as gas. The reported percentage of water loss will be too high because the gap between the initial measurement and final (which will be lower due to loss of sample) measurement will widen.
Using an example like Christmas lights, I would say yes because normally a lot of them would go out if one light is broken.
Answer:
The numbers, positive, negative signs and the symbol of elements are used to represent the ions.
Explanation:
Steps to write the ions:
- Write the symbol of an element. For example in case of magnesium we would write Mg.
- In second step write the number of electrons in superscript that are lost or gained by an atom. For example magnesium atom loses two electrons written as followed, Mg².
- In third step write the charge as superscript after the numbers. For example, magnesium loses two electrons that's why we put the positive sign after 2, because by losing the electrons cations are formed. Mg²⁺
- If the atom of an element lose or gain only one electron then 1 is omitted and only the negative or positive sign are written on superscript. For example in case of sodium cation and chlorine anion, Na⁺ , Cl⁻.
