Answer the following question given this paragraph: Boron forms multicenter bonds rather than metallic lattices with delocalized valence electrons. Why does it prefer this type of bonding? Does this explain why boron behaves like a semiconductor rather than a metal? Explain your answer. Q: What kind of bonds does boron form rather than metallic lattices? Choices: - magnetic bonds - electron bonds - bilateral - multicenter A:
(Answer)
multicenter

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Summary The major types of solids are ionic, molecular, covalent, and metallic. Ionic solids consist of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces; the strength of the bonding is reflected in the lattice energy. Ionic solids tend to have high melting points and are rather hard. Molecular solids are held together by relatively weak forces, such as dipoledipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, and London dispersion forces. As a result, they tend to be rather soft and have low melting points, which depend on their molecular structure. Covalent solids consist of two- or three-dimensional networks of Saylor URL: http://www. saylor. org/books. Q: Ionic, molecular, covalent, and metallic are major types of what state of matter? Choices: - gas - liquid - plasma - solids A:
(Answer)
solids

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Density is mass per unit volume. Density is a measure of how closely molecules are packed together. The closer together they are, the greater the density. Since air is a gas, the molecules can pack tightly or spread out. Q: What is the measure of how closely molecules are packed together? Choices: - length - volume - frequency - density A:
(Answer)
density
