Get started for freeClassify each of the following statements as true or false: (a) Although both molecular solids and covalent-network solids have covalent bonds, the melting points of molecular solids are much lower because their covalent bonds are much weaker. (b) Other factors being equal, highly symmetric molecules tend to form solids with higher melting points than asymmetrically shaped molecules.
Gold adopts a face-centered cubic structure with a unit cell edge of \(4.08 \AA\) (Figure 12.11 ). How many gold atoms are there in a sphere that is \(20 \mathrm{nm}\) in diameter? Recall that the volume of a sphere is \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\).
Write a chemical equation for formation of a polymer via a condensation reaction from the monomers succinic acid \(\quad\left(\mathrm{HOOCCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}\right) \quad\) and \(\quad\) ethylenediamine \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{NH}_{2}\right)\)
The semiconductor GaP has a band gap of \(2.2 \mathrm{eV}\). Green LEDs are made from pure GaP. What wavelength of light would be emitted from an LED made from GaP?
Red light-emitting diodes are made from GaAs and GaP solid solutions, \(\mathrm{GaP}_{x}\) As \(_{1-x}\) (see Exercise 12.73 ). The original red LEDs emitted light with a wavelength of \(660 \mathrm{nm}\). If we assume that the band gap varies linearly with composition between \(x=0\) and \(x=1\), estimate the composition (the value of \(x\) ) that is used in these LEDs.
