describe, in simple terms, the lattice structure of a crystalline solid which is: (a) giant ionic, including sodium chloride and magnesium oxide (b) simple molecular, including iodine, buckminsterfullerene \( C_{60} \) and ice (c) giant molecular, including silicon(IV) oxide, graphite and diamond (d) giant metallic, including copper
deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CO– group in an aldehyde or ketone, CH\(_3\)CO–R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethene and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
describe and interpret, in terms of changes in oxidation number, the reaction of chlorine with cold and with hot aqueous sodium hydroxide and recognise these as disproportionation reactions
