Question
Chapter 14, Problem 18ALQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
White phosphorus and sulfur both are considered as molecular solid even though each is made of only phosphorus and sulfur. This must be explained. Why diamond is not considered as molecular solid though it’s made of only carbon must also be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Molecular solids are solids which are made up of discrete molecules which means particular number of atoms are there in a molecule.

Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.arrow_forward
