Chapter 2, Problem 2.17P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The graph between the melting points of the elements of group 4A and atomic number needs to be plotted. The relation between the atomic bonding and binding energies needs to be discussed as atomic number increases on moving in a row.

Concept Introduction:

For solving this equation, a graph of melting temperature versus atomic number is used, which compares the melting temperature of material with their atomic number values.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The graph between the melting points of the elements of group 4A and atomic number needs to be plotted. The relation between the atomic bonding and binding energies needs to be discussed as atomic number increases on moving in a column.

Concept Introduction:

For solving this equation, a graph of melting temperature versus atomic number is used which compares the melting temperature of material with their atomic number values.
