How does electrostatic attraction relate to ionic solids and bonding?
Ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity (they are insulators).
Why do molecules in solids still stay together if they move?
The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.
Why can't liquids be heaped like solids?
because the force of attraction between the molecules of solid is quite high. because in solids the particles are compressed together. there isn't much space between these particles. however in liquids the space between particles is more and hence it can move more freely.:)
Solids have the lowest amount of?
Space between the molecules?
Why are gases highly compressiable while solids are almost incompressible?
gases are highly compressible as there molecules have lots of spaces between them while in molecules of solids there is not much space and they are tightly packed .
How does electrostatic attraction relate to ionic solids and bonding?
Ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity (they are insulators).
Why do gases expand faster than liquids and solids?
Less bonding between the molecules.
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?
Forces of attraction have a stronger effect on the behavior of liquid particles.
What happens when solids expand?
the intermolecular forces of attraction between the atoms in a solid are weakend due to increase in kinetic energy between molecules
Why are some solids more dense than other solids?
The density of material depends upon the inter molecular force of attraction between the molecules... some solid molecules have more inter molecular force hence they are denser than other solids...
How does solid turn to liquid?
Solids are made up of molecules which have more intermolecular attraction. So these molecules are held together closely. But in case of liquids the inter molecular attraction less. So there is inter molecular space between the molecules. They are not very close to one another. When the inter molecular attraction between the molecules is lost or reduced the solids turn into liquids. When the solid is heated because of the heat the kinetic energy of the molecules is increased and the molecules start moving away from each other. So the inter molecular attraction is lost or reduced. So the solid turns into liquids.
What makes one solid more dense than another?
Force of attraction make a solid denser. Solids have great force of attraction between their molecules that's why they are denser. Greater would be the force of attraction greater would be the density.....
How does ionic bonding help explain the structure called crystal lattice?
An ionic bond can be defined as a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Crystal structure can be defined as a unique arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystalline liquid or solids,
What is bonding in solids. write the list of different types of bonding in solids?
Strong chemical bonds in solids are ionic bonds, covalent bonds in giant network molecules and metallic bonds. Weak bonds in solids holding discrete molecules together are hydrogen bonds in solid H2O, HF, NH3 Weak intermolecular forces including dispersion forces and permanent dipole interactions
What does state of material depend on?
The state of matter depends on the number of atoms / molecules in a given area / volume. If there are more number of molecules, then it will be in solid state and if it is very less molecules then gases. This inturn may depend on the intermolecular force of attraction between the atoms in them. In the case of solids, the force of attraction is high and hence there are more number of molecules present.
Why do molecules in solids still stay together if they move?
The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.
