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

Students have asked these similar questions
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.
Your roommate is having trouble understanding why solids form. He asks, "Why would atoms bond into solids rather than just floating freely with respect to each other?" To help him understand at least one type of bonding in solids, you decide to embark on an energy explanation. You show him a drawing of a primitive cell of a sodium chloride crystal, NaCl, or simple table salt. The drawing is shown in the figure below, where the orange spheres are Na+ ions and the blue spheres are Cl− ions.
Each ion has a charge of magnitude equal to the elementary charge e. The ions lie on the corners of a cube of side d. You explain to your roommate that the electrical potential energy is defined as zero when all eight charges are infinitely far apart from each other. Then you bring them together to form the crystal structure shown.
a) Evaluate the electric potential energy of the crystal as shown.
Graphite has hexagonal crystal lattice which
contains four atoms per unit cell at positions
of (0 0 0), (1/3 2/3 0), (O 0 1/2) and (2/3 1/3 1
12). Show that the structure factor is given
by the following equations. Hint: e^ix+e^-
