Chapter 8, Problem 19RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of particles in gas phase that are evaporated by acetonitrile ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{CN}$ is to be determined. The difference between the evaporation of acetonitrile ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{CN}$ and the evaporation of sodium chloride $\text{NaCl}$ is to be explained.

Concept Information:

Ionic bonds are bonds that are formed between the atoms of metals and non-metals.

Covalent bond balances the net force of attraction as well as repulsion between the two atoms of the non-metals.

Evaporation is the process that changes a substance from liquid phase into gas phase.
