Describing the attraction forces between atomic solids

AI Thread Summary
Attraction forces between atomic solids primarily depend on factors such as charge, size, and shape, with London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions being key types studied. The noble gas with the highest melting point is radon, attributed to its higher molecular weight and larger atomic radius, which increases down the periodic table. The strength of atomic attraction forces is influenced by atomic radii, with larger atoms exhibiting weaker forces. Additionally, hydrogen bonding and ionic bonding are noted as significant types of interactions, with ionic bonding being the strongest. Understanding these forces is essential for grasping the properties of atomic solids.

Oh god, please help...

1. Describe the attraction forces between atomic solids. Upon what factors do the strength of these forces depend?

2.Which of the noble gases would have the highest melting point? Why?

:blushing:.. I'm not very good at chemistry

1. This question is too large to answer. In short it depends on charges, size, shape, etc...
2. Look in the periodic table, the noble gas with highest molecular weight will have the highest melting point, which is radon. Noble gases' atomic attraction forces depend only on their radii
 
oh ok, so the melting point of the noble gases would depend on its atomic radii.. which increases down a period.

and for the attraction forces between atomic solids, we're jus studying london dispersion, and dipole-dipole, so I am guessing it would do with one of them...? or not

you would also have hydrogen bonding (for the covalent bonding) and normal ionic bonding (which is the strongest)

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...
