Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A graphical representation of lattice energy vs. reciprocal of interionic distance has to be made.
Concept Introduction:
The energy released when gaseous state ions of unlike charges that are infinitely farther apart combine to form a stable ionic solid is called Lattice energy. Conversely, the energy required to break the electrostatic force of attraction between the ions of unlike charges in the ionic solid and revert them to gaseous state is also termed as Lattice energy of an ionic solid.
Interionic distance is the distance between the nuclei of the two ions that are bound together as an ionic molecule.
(b)
Interpretation:
The relationship between lattice energy and the distance of separation of ions has to be explained.

- Consider the iodine monochloride molecule, ICI. Because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine, this molecule is a dipole. How would you expect iodine monochloride molecules in the gaseous state to orient themselves with respect to each other as the sample is cooled and the molecules begin to aggregate? Sketch the orientation you would expect.arrow_forwardPotassium bromide has the same lattice structure as NaCl. Given the ionic radii of K+ (133 pm) and Br (196 pm), calculate the density of KBr.arrow_forwardA common prank on college campuses is to switch the salt and sugar on dining hall tables, which is usually easy because the substances look so much alike. Yet, despite the similarity in their appearance, these two substances differ greatly in their properties, since one is a molecular solid and the other is an ionic solid. How do the properties differ and why?arrow_forward
- Explain why the enthalpies of vaporization of the following substances increase in the order CH4NH3H2O, even though all three substances have approximately the same molar mass.arrow_forwardConsider two different organic compounds, each with the formula C2H6O. One of these compounds is a liquid at room conditions and the other is a gas. Write Lewis structures consistent with this observation, and explain your answer. (Hint: The oxygen atom in both structures satisfies the octet rule with two bonds and two lone pairs.)arrow_forwardWhy do the boiling points of the noble gases increase in the order HeNeArKrXe?arrow_forward
- Are changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the structures of buckminsterfullerene and carbon nanotubes?arrow_forwardAn amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.arrow_forward
- The internuclear distance between two closest Kr atoms in solid krypton is about 4.0 Å. The polarizability of krypton is 2.54×10-30 m3, and the first ionization energy is 1351 kJ•mol-1. Estimate the boiling point of krypton.
