The density of solid LiF is about 2,640 kg/m3. Compute the nearest-neighbor distance in LiF, that is, the distance betweenneighboring Li+ and F- ions. Note that LiF has the same lattice structure as NaCI.The distance is given in terms of the number density by the equation (Use the following as necessary: N and V.)d =Therefore the distance (in nm) isd =nm.

The density of so LIF IS about 2,640 kg/m ute the nearest- ighbor dist in LIF, that is, tne distance between neighboring Li+ and F- ions. Note that LiİF has the same lattice structure as NaCl. The distance is given in terms of the number density by the equation (Use the following as necessary: N and V.) d = Therefore the distance (in nm) is d = nm.

Explain why liquids assume the shape of any container into which they are poured, whereas solids are rigid and retain their shape.
Rubidium chloride has the sodium chloride structure at normal pressures but assumes the cesium chloride structure at high pressures. (See Exercise 69.) What ratio of densities is expected for these two forms? Does this change in structure make sense on the basis of simple models? The ionic radius is 148 pm for Rb+ and 181 pm for CI.
The shape of the meniscus of water in a glass tube is different from that of mercury in a glass tube. Why?
The CsCl structure is a simple cubic array of chloride ions with a cesium ion at the center of each cubic array (see Exercise 69). Given that the density of cesium chloride is 3.97 g/cm3, and assuming that the chloride and cesium ions touch along the body diagonal of the cubic unit cell, calculate the distance between the centers of adjacent Cs+ and Cl ions in the solid. Compare this value with the expected distance based on the sizes of the ions. The ionic radius of Cs+ is 169 pm, and the ionic radius of Cl is 181 pm.
Which of the following do you expect to be molecular solids? a silicon tetrachloride, SiCl4 b lithium bromide, LiBr c sodium fluoride, NaF d bromine chloride, BrCl
A 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?
