9. What does a strong odour indicate about the ease with which the particles in a solid leave its surface?
A strong odour in one of any of these soilds would simply mean that the molecules leave the surface easily.
10. From your answer to question 1, which of the two types of solids seem to have the stronger forces of attraction? Explain your answer.
Camphor has a very strong odor which makes it easy for the particles in the soild leave it’s surface. The particle attraction to the soild is not very strong which means that the particles would leave the soild which then triggers a strong smell.
11. From your observations of hardness and melting points, how does the strength of van der Waals forces of attraction compare with the strength of the attractions between ions of opposite charge?
Sodium Chloride has a much stronger force of attraction to the particles because there is no evident odor and seems to have a very high melting point as oppose to camphor which has a very strong, evident smell.
12. Water is a much more polar molecule than 2-propanol. How does the polarity of the liquid seem to influence the solubility of these solids? Water is more of a polar molecule then the given 2-propanol which allows ionic soild, sodium chloride that breaks off and becomes soluble. Camphor is not an ionic solid which means that it is not soluble in water although of the given molecular polarity.
