Suggest why it is hard to predict the melting point of arsenic.
The structures of two phosphorus compounds, R and S, are shown. Explain in terms of structure and bonding why compound R has a high melting point and compound S has a low melting point.
Explain why compound R conducts electricity in the molten state.
Draw a dot-and-cross diagram for one molecule of compound S. Include only the outer-shell electrons.
