There are three sets of sketches below, showing the same pure molecular compound (hydrogen chloride, molecular formula ) at thre
e different temperatures. The sketches are drawn as if a sample of hydrogen chloride were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Only one sketch in each set is correct. Use the slider to choose the correct sketch in each set. You may need the following information: melting point of : -114.8 boiling point of : -85.1
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is - option C.
Explanation:
Given: the melting point of HCl is
-114.8 °C, which suggests that below this temperature HCl will be solid.
and, since the boiling point of HCl is - 85.1 °C. It is also suggested that above this temperature HCl will be gas, Therefore.
Solid -114.8 - Ordered arrangement
Liquid -85.1c - Less orderly arranged
Gaseous - Least orderly arranged
Thus, at —90 °C, HCl will be present 'in the liquid state, At — 1 °C, HCl will be present in the gaseous state and at -129 °C, HCl will be present in the solid-state. So, the molecules will be organized in a more orderly manner .
Thus, the correct answer is - option C

Answer:
Ionic, metal, organic
Explanation:
In this case, we have to analyze each compound:
-)
In this compound, we have a non-metal atom (Cl) and a metal atom (Ca) . So, we will have a high electronegativity difference between these atoms, With this in mind, we will have an ionic bond. Ions can be produced:
The cation would be and the anion is
. So, we will have an <u>ionic compound.</u>
-)
In this case, we have a single atom. If we check the periodic table we will find this atom in the transition metals section (in the middle of the periodic table). So, this indicates that Cu (Copper) is a <u>metal.</u>
-)
In this molecule, we have single bonds between carbon and hydrogen. The electronegativity difference between C and H are not high enough to produce ions. So, with this in mind, we will have covalent bonds. This is the main characteristic of <u>organic compounds. </u> (See figure 1)
