Why did Truman order the atomic energy commission to produce a hydrogen bomb?

Truman ordered the production of a hydrogen bomb as a response to the Soviet Union developing their own atomic bomb. He wanted to ensure that the United States maintained a strategic advantage in nuclear weapons during the Cold War.


What is a solid in which the basic unit is packed in an ordered repeating pattern.?

A crystal is a solid in which the basic unit is packed in an ordered repeating pattern. The arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice creates a three-dimensional structure with a regular geometric shape. This ordered structure gives crystals their characteristic properties such as transparency, cleavage, and specific melting points.


How many water molecules bond together to form an ice crystal?

Ice crystals are made up of many water molecules bonded together in a hexagonal lattice structure. Each water molecule in the lattice is connected to four neighboring water molecules through hydrogen bonds, creating a rigid and ordered structure typical of ice.


Why does ethanol is more soluble than methanol?

The OH on the end is slightly negative. Water is polar too, the hydrogens are positive and the oxygen is negative. Because both of the molecules have a net dipole movement (they have positive and negative ends) they attract each other and dissolve each other.


Which liquids keep some ordered structure?

Liquid crystals and certain polymer solutions can exhibit ordered structures similar to solids while still maintaining fluidity inherent to liquids. Ionic liquids are another example of liquids that can display some level of ordered structure due to their unique interactions between charged molecules.
