Molecular crystals Flashcards
What structure do we get if we have hydrogen bonds where there is one H and one lone pair on each side?
Linear chains
What structure do we get if we have hydrogen bonds where there is one H and one lone pair on each side, but with two remaining lone pairs unbonded?
Zig-zag chains
What structure do we get if we have hydrogen bonds in a molecule with one H and one lone pair on one side of the molecule?
Dimers
What structure do we get if we have hydrogen bonds in a molecule that forms a triangle with one H and one lone pair on each vertex?
