Tutorial Questions for the Physics Component

(Questions are based on the textbook of Callister, 7th Edition)

Week 1

2.13 Calculate the force of attraction between a Ca2+ and an O2- ion the centers of which are separated by a
distance of 1.25 nm.

2.14 The net potential energy between two adjacent ions, EN, may be represented as,
A B
EN    n (2.11)
r r
Calculate the bonding energy Eo in terms of the parameters A, B, and n using the following procedure:
(a) Differentiate EN with respect to r, and then set the resulting expression equal to zero, since the curve of
EN versus r is a minimum at Eo.
(b) Solve for r in terms of A, B, and n, which yields ro, the equilibrium interionic spacing.
(c) Determine the expression for Eo by substitution of ro into Equation 2.11.

2.21 Using Table 2.2, determine the number of covalent bonds that are possible for atoms of the following
elements: silicon, bromine, nitrogen, sulphur and neon.

2.22 What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: solid xenon, calcium
fluoride (CaF2), bronze, cadmium telluride (CdTe), rubber, and tungsten?

2.23 Explain why hydrogen fluoride (HF) has a higher boiling temperature than hydrogen chloride (HCl)
(19.4.vs. –85C), even though HF has a lower molecular weight.
