Chapter 22, Problem 22.43SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compounds which are molecular, and having an extended-three dimensional structure needs to be identified from $\text{KF}$, ${\text{P}}_{\text{4}}{\text{O}}_{\text{10}}$, ${\text{SiCl}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{CaMgSi}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$.

Concept introduction:

Molecular compounds usually forms by combining non-metals which are neutral, by sharing electrons of the atoms, making covalent bonds. The three-dimensional structure of these compounds depends on the spatial inclination of the covalently bonded atoms.
