Chapter 7, Problem 77P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether $\text{KI}$ is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The ionic solid is defined as the solids which are formed by the oppositely charged ions which consists anions and cations.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The molecular solid are solids in which molecules of solids are connected by the Vander Waals force instead of covalent bonds or ionic bonds.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether bronze an alloy of Cu and Sn is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The metallic solids are the solids which are formed by the metallic bonds and these solids consists metallic atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Whether diamond is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The network solid is a solid in which the molecules are bonded by the covalent bond in a continuous network which extends through two dimensions or three dimensions.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

Whether plastic polyethylene is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The amorphous solid are those solid which does not exhibit crystalline structure and they have the capacity to get folded or get intertwined.
