7. Each of the following statements about the properties of matter are false. Choose two statements and explain the fallacy. a. Aluminum conducts electricity because it allows electrons to flow between covalent bonds between atoms in the crystal lattice. b. The bonding within H,O molecules explains why water has a high boiling point. The geometry of an ionic compound determines if it's polar or non-polar. с.

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties? The key difference is that diamonds have other elements bonded within their structure. The differences are explained by the number of covalent and ionic bonds within each substance. The differences are explained by the density: graphite is very high and diamond is much lower. The differences are explained by how the carbon atoms within each substance are covalently bonded together.
Of the bonding forces between atoms and molecules, which are strongest? Select one: bonds between oppositely charged ionized groups hydrogen bonds bonds between polar groups covalent bonds bonds between nearby nonpolar groups
In the crystal structure of CsCl (cesium chloride), Cs + ions form the base of a cube while a Cl− ion occupies its center (see Figure 1). Each edge of the cube measures 0.4 nm. Each electron lacks Cs + ions (therefore, the charge of each is + e), while the Cl− ion has one in excess (therefore its charge is -e). (a) What is the magnitude of the resulting electrostatic force exerted by the eight Cs + on the Cl− ion? (b) If one of the Cs + ions is missing, the crystal is said to be imperfect. What is the magnitude of the resulting electrostatic force that the seven Cs + ions then exert on the Cl− ion?
What is the difference between atomic structure and crystal structure?
