(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the malleability, ductility and insolubility in water are the properties of an ionic, a molecular or a metallic solid is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A solid substance has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. The forces of attraction between the solid particles are very strong. The particles of solids do not move, but they vibrate about their mean position.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the high melting point and electric conductor when melted are the properties of an ionic, a molecular or a metallic solid is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A solid substance has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. The forces of attraction between the solid particles are very strong. The particles of solids do not move, but they vibrate about their mean position.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the low melting point and nonconductor of
Concept introduction:
A solid substance has a fixed shape and a fixed volume. The forces of attraction between the solid particles are very strong. The particles of solids do not move, but they vibrate about their mean position.
