Q 1.6: Classify the following solids in different categories based on the nature of intermolecular forces operating in them:
Potassium sulphate, tin, benzene, urea, ammonia, water, zinc sulphide, graphite, rubidium, argon, silicon carbide.
Solution:
| Substance | type of solid |
| Potassium sulphate | Ionic solid |
| Benzene | Molecular solid (non−polar) |
| Urea | Polar molecular solid |
| Ammonia | Polar molecular solid |
| Water | Hydrogen bonded molecular solid |
| Zinc sulphide | Ionic solid |
| Graphite | Covalent or network solid |
| Rubidium | Metallic solid |
| Argon | Non−polar molecular solid |
| Silicon carbide | Covalent or network solid |
Classify the following solids in different categories based on the nature of intermolecular forces operating in them:
ReplyDeletePotassium sulphate, tin, benzene, urea, ammonia, water, zinc sulphide, graphite, rubidium, argon, silicon carbide.
tin is absent in this chart

Deleteobviously tin is a metallic solid
DeleteTin is a typical silvery white metal , so tin is a Metallic solid,,,,,,even though it belongs to the carbon group, it is not a network solid bcos , down the group metallic character increases
ReplyDeleteThanks Prithvi Bhakta for your valuable answer.
ReplyDeletetin is absent......plz verify it.............
ReplyDeletetin(Sn) is a metal...obviously it's a metallic solid
ReplyDeleteFind chemical supplies for industrial purpose. mineral manufacturers in India.
ReplyDeleteBut urea does form hydrogen bond N-H-O. Hence can be considered hydrogen bonded molecular solids
ReplyDeleteOf course tin is metallic solid.
ReplyDeletePlease explain benzene as molecular(non-polar) solid
ReplyDeletePlease explain benzene as molecular(non-polar) solid
ReplyDeleteArgon is also missing
ReplyDeleteI got here much interesting stuff. The post is great! Thanks for sharing it! Reaction bonded silicon
ReplyDeleteWhat type of solid Zn is???
ReplyDeleteZn is metallic solid.
