Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A molecular scale picture should be drawn to distinguish between alumina and silica and it should be stated if the picture is accurate of schematic.
Concept introduction:
Matter exists in three major states as solid, liquid, and gases. These states have various differences depending on their physical properties and the most important factor is their binding at molecular or atomic level. The difference in these states depends on the force of attraction between the molecules existing in the particular phase and their kinetic energies.
The solids have more prominent crystal structures in comparison to liquid because of their regular arrangements. The molecular scale images are created with the help of nanotechnologies to show the microscopic arrangement of molecules in a given state.

- Chemically active surfaces are seen on alumina-containing zeolites. Interpret this statement.arrow_forwardstudent found a bottle of unknown origin in the basement of an "CAUTION—contains С₁H₁O.” No other A old house. The bottle was labelled information was given, but inside the bottle were some white crystals. The student took the bottle to a chemistry laboratory, where she analyzed the crystals with the help of the laboratory staff. C₁2H₁6O reacted with Br₂ in CCl4 adding one mole of Br, and forming C₁₂H₁OB2₂. When a sample of C₁₂H₂O was reacted with O3 followed by Zn/H₂O, two different samples, J and K, were obtained. Compound J had a molecular formula of C.HgO₂, and its NMR is shown below. Compound K had a molecular formula of C₂H₂O, and it could be oxidized to compound L, with a molecular formula of C₂H₂O₂. The IR spectrum of L showed a very wide, strong band centred around 3000 cm*¹. The NMR spectrum of L showed only two different absorptions: a doublet (6H) at 0.9 ppm and a septet (1H) at 3.6 ppm. There was also a singlet (1H) off the scale at 11.8 ppm. students, deduce possible…arrow_forwardName and give symbols for three transition metals in the fourth period.
