Chapter 11: Problem 57

(a) Draw a picture that represents a crystalline solid at the atomic level. (b) Now draw a picture that represents an amorphous solid at the atomic level.

Short Answer

Expert verified
To draw a crystalline solid at the atomic level, create a well-ordered lattice pattern, arranging atoms (represented as circles or spheres) in a repeating, uniform grid. Label the drawing "Crystalline Solid" and describe its well-ordered structure. To draw an amorphous solid, create a disordered arrangement of atoms with varying sizes and spacing, with no apparent pattern or order. Label the drawing "Amorphous Solid" and describe its disordered structure.

Step by step solution

01

Gather materials

Grab a piece of paper and a pencil or pen. Optional: colored pencils or pens to differentiate the atoms.
02

Draw a crystalline solid

To represent a crystalline solid at the atomic level, we will draw a repeating, well-ordered arrangement of atoms. Start by drawing a lattice pattern (a grid that consists of equal square cells) on the piece of paper(use 3x3 or 4x4 for simplicity). Place a circle or sphere within each square cell to represent an atom. Make sure all the circles or spheres are of equal size and are spaced evenly throughout the grid.
03

Label the crystalline solid

Label your drawing as "Crystalline Solid." Write a brief description of a crystalline solid: "Crystalline solids have a well-ordered structure, with atoms arranged in a repeating, uniform pattern."
04

Draw an amorphous solid

To represent an amorphous solid at the atomic level, we will draw a disordered arrangement of atoms. On a new part of your paper, draw circles or spheres with varying sizes and spacing to represent the atoms. Make sure there is no apparent pattern or order to the arrangement of these atoms, and fill the space with them.
05

Label the amorphous solid

Label your drawing as "Amorphous Solid." Write a brief description of an amorphous solid: "Amorphous solids have a disordered structure, with atoms arranged in an irregular and non-uniform pattern." Now you have created two pictures representing the atomic level structures of a crystalline solid and an amorphous solid.

Covalent bonding occurs in both molecular and covalent-network solids. Why do these two kinds of solids differ so greatly in their hardness and melting points?

Using the following list of normal boiling points for a series of hydrocarbons, estimate the normal boiling point for octane, \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\) : propane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8},-42.1{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\), bu- tane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10},-0.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\), pentane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12}, 36.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\), hexane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{14}, 68.7^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\), heptane \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{16}, 98.4{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) .\) Explain the trend in the boiling points.

The fluorocarbon compound \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{3}\) has a normal boiling point of \(47.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The specific heats of \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{3}(l)\) and \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{3}(g)\) are \(0.91 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K}\) and \(0.67 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K}\), respectively. The heat of vaporization for the compound is \(27.49 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). Calculate the heat required to convert \(50.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{3}\) from a liquid at \(10.00{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to a gas at \(85.00{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Ethanol \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}\right)\) melts at \(-114{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and boils at \(78{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Its density is \(0.789 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\). The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is \(5.02 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\), and its enthalpy of vaporization is \(38.56 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). The specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are \(0.97 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K}\) and \(2.3 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}-\mathrm{K}\), respectively. (a) How much heat is required to convert \(25.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of ethanol at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to the vapor phase at \(78^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\) (b) How much heat is required to convert \(5.00 \mathrm{~L}\) of ethanol at \(-140^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to the vapor phase at \(78^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\)

A particular form of cinnabar (HgS) adopts the zinc blende structure, Figure \(11.42(b)\). The length of the unit cell side is \(5.852 \AA\). (a) Calculate the density of \(\mathrm{HgS}\) in this form. (b) The mineral tiemmanite (HgSe) also forms a solid phase with the zinc blende structure. The length of the unit cell side in this mineral is \(6.085 \AA\). What accounts for the larger unit cell length in tiemmanite? (c) Which of the two substances has the higher density? How do you account for the difference in densities?
