Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- 12. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT: (A) X-ray crystallography can give the three-dimensional arrangement of all the atoms in a molecule The ratio of the two main isotopes of Cl (chlorine) is about 3:1 (B) (C) The index of hydrogen deficiency (IDH) for C5H8O is 4. (D) Generally speaking, the longer the wavelength of the UV-Vis spectrum maximum (2max), the more conjugated the molecule is. The energy of photons used in UV-Vis spectroscopy is much higher than those used in NMR spectroscopy. (E)arrow_forward(b) Many structures of ionic compounds have been described in terms of close packing of a large anion, X, with a cation, A, occupying tetrahedral or octahedral holes. (1) In a cubic close packed lattice, how many octahedral holes are there per lattice ion? (ii) What is the formula of a compound based upon a cubic close packed lattice in which of the octahedral holes are filled? (ii) State the coordination numbers and geometries of A and X In the crystal lattice in part (b)(ii) above.arrow_forward(a) Determine the number of calcium ions in the chemicalformula of the mineral hardystonite, CaxZn(Si2O7). (b)Determine the number of hydroxide ions in the chemicalformula of the mineral pyrophyllite, Al2(Si2O5)2(OH)x.arrow_forward
- (a) Draw an orthorhombic unit cell, and within that cell a (210) plane. (b) Draw a monoclinic unit cell, and within that cell a (002) plane.arrow_forwardAccount for the following :(a) Glass objects from ancient civilizations are found to become milky in appearance.(b) Window glass panes of old buildings are thicker at the bottom than at the top.arrow_forwardTable gives the ionic radii for K^+ and O^2- as 0.138 and 0.140nm, respectively.(a) What is the coordination number for each O^2- ion?(b) Brief y describe the resulting crystal structure for K2O.(c) Explain why this is called the antif uorite structurearrow_forward
- How will you distinguish between the following pairs of terms:(i) Tetrahedral and octahedral voids(ii) Crystal lattice and unit cellarrow_forwardSketch the band structure of a Li AND a Si crystal. (ii) How would you expect the electrical conductivity in Li AND Si crystals to vary with temperature? (iii) Account for the fact that the conductivity of Si is enhanced by the addition of small amounts of B.arrow_forwardThe thermal and mechanical processing of materials is an important step in ensuring that they have the appropriate physical properties for their intended application. Suppose a metallic element undergoes a phase transit ion in which its crystal structure changes from cubic close-packed to bodycentredcubic. (a) Does it become more or less dense? (b) By what factor does its density change?arrow_forward

(a) CH3OH boils at 65 °C; CH3SH boils at 6 °C. (b) Xe is a liquid at atmospheric pressure and 120 K, whereas Ar is a gas under the same conditions. (c) Kr, atomic weight 84 amu, boils at 120.9 K, whereas Cl2, molecular weight about 71 amu, boils at 238 K. (d) Acetone boils at 56 °C, whereas 2-methylpropane boils at -12 °C.
