Questions and Answers

What is the term used to describe different packing patterns of molecules in crystals?

  • Enantiomers
  • Stereoisomers
  • Polymorphic forms (correct)
  • Isomers

How are the two packing arrangements in Fig. 8.1 described in the text?

  • Enantiomers
  • Crystals with the same density
  • Polymorphic forms (correct)
  • Isomers

Why would the structure in Fig. 8.1a have a lower melting point than the structure in Fig. 8.1b?

  • It has more spaced out molecules (correct)
  • It has a more interwoven structure
  • It has natural break lines
  • It is more difficult to physically pull molecules off the structure

Match the following with their descriptions:

<p>Packing arrangements in Fig. 8.1a and Fig. 8.1b = Two crystal forms called polymorphic forms Molecules in Fig. 8.1a and Fig. 8.1b = More spaced out in Fig. 8.1a and more interwoven in Fig. 8.1b Melting point of the structure in Fig. 8.1a = Lower than the structure in Fig. 8.1b Consequence of an attempt to mill the crystal structures in Fig. 8.1a and Fig. 8.1b = Structure in Fig. 8.1a would break easily, whereas the structure in Fig. 8.1b may not break easily</p> Signup and view all the answers
