Short Answer
11. Explain why ionic crystals are brittle.
Answer: Ionic crystals are brittle because shifting of the layers of ions results in large repulsive forces that cause the layers to part completely.

12. Naphthalene, C10H8, is a nonpolar molecule and has a boiling point of 218°C. Acetic acid, CH3CO2H, is a polar molecule and has a boiling point of 118°C. Which substance has the stronger intermolecular forces? Briefly explain your answer.
Answer: Naphthalene has the stronger intermolecular forces even though it is nonpolar, because its boiling point is higher than that of acetic acid. Boiling point is directly correlated to strength of intermolecular forces; the stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy needed to break all the intermolecular forces, and therefore the higher the boiling point. Naphthalene is so large that its dispersion forces are greater than the sum of the dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding in acetic acid.

13. Describe and explain the potential energy changes that occur during the formation of a covalent bond.
Answer: There is a repulsive region at small bond distances, a minimum well at an intermediate bond distance, and an asymptotic region at large bond distances. The repulsive region is due to the repulsion between the two positive nuclei at distances where the nuclei are close to each other. The asymptotic region is where the atoms are far apart and therefore do not interact with each other. The potential energy decreases as the atoms come closer together and are attracted to each other. The minimum well is the region where the attractive forces are balanced by the repulsive forces. This distance is the equilibrium bond length.
