Video transcript

Hi everyone here, we have a question telling us that a portion of a two dimensional cleavage a potassium bromide lattices shown below, which circle represents K. So potassium and bromide are in the same row on the periodic table. The ionic radius increases from left to right. This means that roaming is going to have the larger radius, so we expect potassium to be the smaller circle, and therefore red, And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.

Acetylene 1C2H22 and nitrogen 1N22 both contain a triple bond, but they differ greatly in their chemical properties. (c) Write balanced chemical equations for the complete oxidation of N2 to form N2O51g2 and of acetylene to form CO21g2 and H2O1g2. Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete oxidation of acetylene to form CO2( g) and H2O(g).

Textbook Question

Illustrated are four ions — A, B, X, and Y— showing their relative ionic radii. The ions shown in red carry positive charges: a 2+ charge for A and a 1+ charge for B. Ions shown in blue carry negative charges: a 1- charge for X and a 2- charge for Y. (b) Among the combinations in part (a), which leads to the ionic compound having the largest lattice energy?
