Chapter 7, Problem 78P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$ is amorphous, ionic, molecular, network or metallic needs to be identified.

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 ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{COOH}$ 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 Van der Waals force instead of covalent bonds or ionic bonds.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether $\text{Ag}$ 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 graphite 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

(e)

Interpretation:

Whether plastic polypropylene 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.
