Chemistry Classify each solid as a covalent, ionic, metallic, or molecular solid.

AI Thread Summary
Calcium Fluoride is classified as an ionic solid due to the electrostatic attraction between calcium and fluoride ions. Rhombic Sulfur is a covalent solid, characterized by its molecular structure formed by sulfur atoms bonded together. Frozen Ethanol is classified as a molecular solid, as it consists of molecules held together by intermolecular forces. Pure Calcium is a metallic solid, exhibiting properties such as electrical conductivity and malleability. Understanding these classifications is essential for identifying the properties and behaviors of different solids.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
