Why is the arrangement of the constituent atoms or molecules more important in determining the properties of a solid than a liquid or
a gas? Why are the structures of solids usually described in terms of the positions
of the constituent atoms rather than their motion?

An atom of lithium (li) and an atom of chlorine (cl) engage in a chemical reaction. which correctly describes the structure of the resulting chemical compound? hint: consider the class of each element. the chemical compound will have a network structure. the chemical compound will have triple bonds. the chemical compound will have a ball-and-stick structure. the chemical compound will have double bonds.
