A

not easily vapourized

21
Q

Summarize the process of water vaporization?

A
  1. The rate of vaporization increases with increasing temperature
  2. The rate of vaporization increases with increasing surface area.
  3. The rate of vaporization increases with decreasing strength of intermolecular forces.
22
Q

what is melting point?

A

The temperature at which the molecules of a solid have enough thermal energy to overcome intermolecular forces and become a liquid

23
Q

what is melting (Fusion)?

A

the transition from solid to liquid

24
Q

what is freezing?

A

the transition from liquid to solid

25
Q

what is X-ray diffraction?

A

a powerful laboratory technique that allows for the determination of the powerful arrangement of atoms in a crystal and the measuring of the distance between them

26
Q

what is Bragg’s Law ?

A

nλ =2d sinθ

distance between atomic layers = d = nλ/2d sinθ

27
Q

what is a crystalline lattice?

A

the regular arrangement of atoms in a crystalline solid

28
Q

what is a unit cell?

A

The smallest divisible unit of a crystal, that when repeated in 3D, reproduces the entire crystal lattice

29
Q

what is a simple cubic?

A

a unit cell that consists of a cube with one atom at each corner

30
Q

what is a coordinate number?

A

the number of molecules or ions directly bound to the metal atom in a complex ion

31
Q

what is packing efficiency?

A

The percentage of volume of a unit cell occupied by atoms, assumed to spherical

32
Q

what is the body-centred cubic?

A

a unit cell that consists of a cube with one atom at each corner and one atom at the centre of the cube
coordinate number = 8

33
Q

what is the face-centred cubic?

A

a crystal structure whose unit cell consists of a cube with one atom at each corner and one atom in the centre of every face
coordinate number = 12

34
Q

what is a hexagonal closet packing ?

A

a closet packed arrangement in which the atoms of the third layer align exactly over those in the first layer

35
Q

what is cubic closet packing?

A

a closet packed arrangement in which the third layer of atoms is offset from the first: the same structure as the faced-centred cubic

Q

what are network covalent atomic solids?

A

atomic solids held together by covalent bonds; they have high melting points

42
Q

what is band theory?

A

A model for bonding in atomic solids that comes from molecular orbital theory in which atomic orbitals combine and become delocalized over the entire crystal

43
Q

what is a band gap?

A

an energy gap that exists between the valence band and conduction band of semiconductors and insulators

44
Q

what is n-type semiconductor?

A

a semiconductor that employs negatively charged electrons in the condition band as the charge

what is a p-type semiconductor?

A

a semiconductor that employs positively charged “holes” in the valence band as the charge carriers

47
Q

what are p-n junctions?

A

tiny areas in electrical circuits that have a p-type semiconductors on one side and n-type on the other
