<p>yes covalent network is much stronger than ionic bonding and some of the examples are C as a diamond and Sio2 which is Quartz.
OK here comes a question</p>
<p>The types of hybridization by carbon atoms we can see in propyne molecule, CH3CCH, include
1. sp
2. sp2
3. sp3</p>
<p>oops, my CH3CCH is ruined.... i see the difference btw what i write and what it shows;; ok so the H in the first row has to be on the first C, not on the H
and same for the H in the third row..</p>
<p>Doctorcroc, yes you're right except that there are NO oxygens in the basic hydro carbons like what Vhoidz said :-)</p>
<p>another question!
Actually i am working on this question now..</p>
<p>The standard enthalpy of formation of HI(g) is 26kJmol^-1. Which of the following is the approximate mass of HI(g) that must decompose into H2(g) and I2(s) to release 500.kJ of energy?
a. 250g
b. 650g
c. 1300g
d. 2500g
e. 13000g</p>
<p>oooh.. this is really tough!
i solved this way: since 2HI->H2+I2, the enthalpy change here is -26kJ. 500/26 = 19.2308 meaning that the actual reaction took 19.2308moles of HI to be decomposed into H2 and I2. So in order to get the mass of HI, 19.23*(1+127)=2461.44 which is approximately 2500g. The answer is d but im not sure about the solution......... any help?</p>
<p>oh here in S Korea it's already 3 am.............;-( VSEPR always appear on the test,, but the number of questions varies. but i think it frequently appears in the FRQs so you've gotta be familiar with it :D</p>
