Covalence

[edit]

If the material were a salt, as shown, would you not expect it to be unstable in water rather than just poorly soluble? I can't seem to find any good sources which discuss the bonding arraignments. --Project Osprey (talk) 11:32, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Salts of volatile acids can be insoluble and unaffected by water, e.g. calcium fluoride or copper sulfide. But indeed, by now there should be conclusive data about the compound's structure.--Jorge Stolfi (talk) 17:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Copper(I) acetylide. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Several problems

[edit]

The article seems to have several problems, which may be due to conflating the hydrated compound with the anhydrous one. For one thing, if the decomposition did not generate any gaseous products, it would not explode. It would seem that only the hydrate is explosive, and the water vapor is the gas that creates the explosion. The article already says that the decomposition in vacuum (which presumably dehydrates the material) is not explosive. Jorge Stolfi (talk) 17:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
