Chapter 3, Problem 3.86P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given statement needs to be stated true or false:

The boiling point of ionic compounds is high.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given statement needs to be stated true or false:

There is a random arrangement of ions in the crystal lattice and the overall charge is zero.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The given statement needs to be stated true or false:

The solution conducts electricity when ionic compounds are dissolved in water.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The given statement needs to be stated true or false:

The ions with the same charges are close to each other in an ionic crystal.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative charged ions. The ionic compounds are composed of ions, but the overall charge is zero. The ions are combined in such a way that a positive charge is equal to the negative charge.

Naming Covalent Compounds Although the names end in "-ide", naming for covalent is different than for ionic. We must use prefixes to specify how many of each element are present in the formula. A prefix is used for each element except when the first element has only one. Never start the name with "mono". See examples below. The following prefixes are used in covalent compounds: Formula Name nitrogen dioxide dinitrogen trioxide NO2 mono- means 1 N203 di- means carbon tetrachloride tri- means 3 dichlorine monoxide Cl20 S2C12 tetra- means 4 disulfur dichloride penta- means hexa- 5 means
