Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A soft, waxy solid that consists of carbon and hydrogen only has to be classified as ionic or non-ionic based on the name or description.
Concept Introduction:
Ionic compounds:
An atom or a molecule having a net electrical charge is known as ion. Charge of the electron is negative and charge of the proton is positive. Both electron and proton have the same magnitude. Positively charged ion is called cation and negatively charged ion is called anion. Because of the opposite charge of cation and anion they will readily form ionic compounds. Ions consisting of only a single atom known as monoatomic ions and more than two atoms form polyatomic ions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The substance ammonium oxalate has to be classified as ionic or non-ionic.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
A hard, brittle solid that melts above
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
An alkali metal oxide has to be classified as ionic or non-ionic.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Hello, I am doing a court case analysis in my Analytical Chemistry course. The case is about a dog napping and my role is prosecution of the defendant. I am tasked in the Area of Expertise in Neutron Activation and Isotopic Analysis. Attached is the following case study reading of my area of expertise! The landscaping stone was not particularly distinctive in its decoration but matched both the color and pattern of the Fluential’s landscaping stone as well as the stone in the back of the recovered vehicle. Further analysis of the stone was done using a technique called instrumental neutron activation analysis. (Proceed to Neutron Activation data) Photo Notes: Landscaping stone recovered in vehicle. Stone at Fluential’s home is similar inappearance. Finally, the white paint on the brick was analyzed using stable isotope analysis. The brick recovered at the scene had smeared white paint on it. A couple of pieces of brick in the back of the car had white paint on them.
