Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3RAT
Which would you expect to have a higher melting point: sodium chloride, NaCl, or aluminum oxide, Al2O3?
(a) Aluminum oxide, because it is a larger molecule and has a greater number of molecular interactions
(b) NaCl, because it is a solid at room temperature
(c) Aluminum oxide, because of the greater charges of the ions and hence the greater force of attraction between them
(d) Aluminum oxide, because of the covalent bonds within the molecule

A loss of an oxide atom results in a 'vacancy'. The presence of these vacancies is
required for conductivity in the solid state.
How many vacancies will be in the doped cell?
Explain how these vacancies allow oxide ions to move through the material.
