Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 1PPA
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason that the given molecule exhibits liquid crystal properties is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Liquid crystals act like both conventional liquids and solid crystals.
Liquid crystals have the ability to flow and take the shape of the container like liquids and also havea regulararrangement of particles in the lattice like solids.
Liquid crystals scatter light.
Some substances exhibit liquid crystal behavior when they are melted from solids.
As the temperature increases, the solid liquifies but retains some order in one or two dimensions.

Question: Explain the process of polymerization and its role in the formation of complex macromolecules. Provide an example to illustrate the concept.
please answer letter b. Please help. Tysm❤️B. Choose one type of solid (metallic crystals, ionic crystals, molecular crystals, and covalent network crystals) and analyse explain in two sentences why it has these properties (strength or hardness, melting point, electrical conductibility, heat conductibility, and brittleness). Example: Metallic crystals have high melting point because a large amount of energy is needed to melt the crystal since the forces of attraction to be broke are numerous and extend throughout the crystal.

- The ionic compound, CsI, forms a body centered cubic structure (see below) where the anions occupy the corners of the crystal (red) and the cations the body centered position (green). If the density of the compound is 4.51 g/cm^3 and the ionic radius of Cs + is 169 pm, what is the ionic radius of I − in pm? Key Concept: The atoms are touching the diagonal in the center of the cube. This makes it equal to the sum of 2 times the radius of each atom. Strategy: Determine the length of the diagonal,d, and recall that the length of the side, l, is given by l = d/3 0.5. This is a result of the use of the Pythagorean theorem relating the length of the side to d.With the length of the side you can determine the volume of the unit cell.From the number of atoms in the unit cell determine the mass of the unit cell.Use these to get the density.arrow_forwardQUESTION: Polonium, with an atomic radius of 0.168 nm, crystallizes in a simple cubic structure.
