Predict the type of bonding that holds the following atomsmo

Predict the type of bonding that holds the following atoms/molecules together in the following solid materials. Briefly explain why you have made the prediction for each material. Where appropriate include calculations. BaO CdS FeO Brass (a copper rich copper-zinc alloy) Solid neon Polyethylene (a largely linear thermoplastic polymer) AIP

Solution

In Bao , CDs , FeO ionic bonding exist as it is between metal and nom metal ..Ba , Cd , Fe, exists as cations in +2 state and O as -2 anion.

In Brass metallic bonding exist since only metals are present.

In solid neon vanderwalls force of attraction exists since it is inert gas .

In polyethylene and Aip covalent bond exist . Polyethylene is polymer of ethylene. And AIP exist as solid plastics.
