PLEASE HELP I'M TIMED David observed properties of four different compounds, only one of which is an ionic compound. His observations are shown in the chart.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column labeled compound has entries W, X, Y, Z. The second column labeled observations has entries is a hard solid, melts at 44 degrees C, has a molecular structure; is a brittle solid, does not conduct electricity in water, has a crystal structure; is a hard solid, conducts electricity, has a molecular structure; is a brittle solid, melts at 801 degrees C, has a crystal structure.

Which is most likely the ionic compound?

W

X

Y

Z

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

hey there!

mass = 6.75 g

volume =   9 cm³

therefore:

d = mass / volume

d   = 6.75 / 9

d = 0.7 g/cm³
