а. The strong electrostatic attractions between cations and anions are responsible for the fact that most ionic compounds are solids at room temperature with high melting and high boiling points. However, ionic liquid is a salt that is a liquid at room temperature. Explain the phenomenon and provide a relevant application of the ionic liquids that would benefit us.

See the attraction between atoms to strong A. How would you describe the spacing between the atoms? Are the atoms free to move around? Explain. B. What is the likely phase (solid, liquid, or gas) of the substance that is comprised of the atons you have just describe? Explain.
Aluminum metal is produced by heating aluminumoxide, Al2O3(s), and other substances to almost1000 °C until the mixture melts. Molten aluminumoxide is an excellent conductor. An electric currentpassed through liquid aluminum oxide can providethe electrons needed to convert the aluminumions to neutral metal atoms. Explain the followingproperties of aluminum oxide in terms of ionicbonding: K/U(a) its high electrical conductivity when molten(b) its high melting point
A number of salts containing the tetrahedral polyatomicanion, BF4-, are ionic liquids, whereas salts containing thesomewhat larger tetrahedral ion SO42- do not form ionicliquids. Explain this observation.

There are three flask they are all 1.00L flask a is NH3 flask B is NO2 flask c is N2 which flask are the molecules least polar and therfore most ideal in behavior
The table below shows some physical properties of halogenatedliquids. Which of the following statements best explains these data?(a) The larger the dipole moment, the stronger the intermolecularforces, and therefore the boiling point is lowest for themolecule with the largest dipole moment. (b) The dispersionforces increase from F to Cl to Br; since the boiling point alsoincreases in this order, the dispersion forces must make a fargreater contribution to intermolecular interactions thandipole-dipole interactions. (c) The trend in electronegativityis F > Cl > Br; therefore, the most ionic compound (CH2F2)has the lowest boiling point, and the most covalent compound(CH2Br2) has the highest boiling point. (d) Boiling point increaseswith molecular weight for these nonpolar compounds.

Answer each question and justify your answer by doing ALL of the following: • Identify the type of substance and important interparticle force(s) for both substances. − Explain how you know (substances and forces). − For each molecular substance, fully justify how you know if it is polar or nonpolar. Provide a Lewis structure, a geometry sketch, calculation of |ΔEN| values, and a discussion of symmetry. • Identify which of the two substances has stronger interparticle forces. If they have the same type of interparticle force, explain how you know which is stronger. • Answer the question by connecting the property asked about to strength of interparticle forces. • Use complete sentences, write all words out (no abbreviations) and be specific and complete with all explanations. Do not refer to any actual data. 10-3. Does CH4O or CH3F have the higher boiling point? 10-5. Does BaSO4 or KCN have the lower melting point?
