What typefs) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: solid xenon, calcium fluoride (caf, bronze, cadmium telluride (cdte), rubber, and tungsten?

a) Solid Xenon - only van der waals  forces of attractions.

b) Calcium Fluoride - Ionic Bonding

c) Bronze - Metallic Bonding

d) Cadmium telluride - Covalent bonding with slight ionic character.

e) Rubber - Covalent bonding with some van der Waals forces of attraction.

f) Tungsten - Metallic bonding

Explanation:

a) Xenon is  a noble gas having fully filled stable electronic configuration.

So, there is no bonding between xenon atoms in solid xenon.

Only van der waals forces of attraction are found.

b) Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound formed from calcium (2+) and Fluoride ion.

c) Bronze is an alloy formed mainly from copper and tin which are both metals.

So, metallic bonding is  in found in bronze.

d) Cadmium telluride is formed form cadimium (2+) ion and Telluride ion with -2 charge.

So, it has slight ionic character with predominant covalent bonding

e) Rubber is a polymer which is formed from isoprene units.

So, covalent bonding exists along with van der waals forces.

f) Tungsten is a metal. So, metallic bonding is found between the atoms of tungsten.

i just got this problem. it's 90.3
