What is the angle between two bonds of a carbon atom in the diamond crystal?arrow_forwardThe substance with the lowest known boiling point (4 K) is helium, an atomic element that has two electrons. Hydrogen isa diatomic molecule and also has two electrons, but its boiling point is significantly higher, at 20.28 K.(a) What is the dominant intermolecular force between a pair of helium atoms and a pair of H2 molecules?(b) Why do you think H2 has a higher boiling point?arrow_forward
- Which of the following set of compounds form an ionic solid, a molecular solid, and a covalent network solid, in that order? (A) Na2O, Na2O2, SiO2; (B) Na2O, MgO, Al2O3; (C) BaO, BaO2, CO2; (D) CaO, SO2, SiO2;arrow_forwardName the type(s) of intermolecular forces that exists between molecules (or basic units) in each of the following species and identify the following species that are capable of hydrogen-bonding among themselves. (a) BeH2, (b) CH3COOHarrow_forwardName the type(s) of intermolecular forces that exists between molecules (or basic units) in each of the following species and identify the following species that are capable of hydrogen-bonding among themselves.

- The binary hydrogen compounds of the Group 4A elements and their boiling points are: CH4, –162ºC; SiH4, –112ºC; GeH4, –88ºC; and SnH4, –52ºC. Explain the increase in boiling points from CH4 to SnH4.arrow_forwardIn which of the following pairs of ionic compounds is the one with the larger |∆Hhydration| listed first? (A) KCl , NaF (B)CaCl2, MgCl2 (C)MgBr2, MgCl2 (D)FeCl2, FeCl3 (E)KBr , KIarrow_forward10.124 Chlorine dioxide gas (CIO2) is used as a commercial bleach- ing agent. It bleaches materials by oxidizing them. In the course of these reactions, the CIO2 is itself reduced. (a) What is the Lewis structure for CLO2? (b) Why do you think that CIO2 is reduced so readily? (c) When a CIO2 molecule gains an electron, the chlorite ion, ClO2, forms. Draw the Lewis structure for CLO2. (d) Predict the O-Cl-Obond angle in the CIO2 ion. (e) One method of preparing ClO2 is by the reaction of chlorine and sodium chlorite 2 CIO2(8) + 2NaCl(s) Cl2(g) + 2 NaCIO2 (s) -arrow_forward
