Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having(1) high electronegativity(2) high ionization energy(3) highly mobile protons in the nucleus(4) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is (4). You may recall hearing about the "sea of electrons" model of metals. Metals represent the ultimate case of delocalized (shared) valence electrons, and these delocalized valence electrons are what freely move around, conducting current through the body of the metal.
Answer 2
Answer:

The correct answer is (4) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

The explanation:

-A metal consists of a lattice of atoms, each with a shell of electrons. This is also known as a positive ionic lattice.

- The outer electrons are free todissociate from their parent atoms and travel through the lattice, creating a sea of electrons, his valence electrons are what freely move around making the metal a conductor.

-When an electrical potential difference is applied across the metal, the electrons drift from one end of the conductor to the other under the influence of the electric field.

Answers

Answer:

(i)  ΔS° < 0 or negative

(ii) ΔS° > 0 or positive

(iii) ΔS° > 0 or positive

(iv) ΔS° > 0 or positive

(v) ΔS° < 0 or negative

(vi) ΔS° > 0 or positive

Explanation:

Entropy is a state function and extensive  property of the system.

It's the measurement of degree of randomness..

Entropy of the system decreases as follows

 Gas > Liquid > Amorphous solid > Crystalline solid.

In case for chemical reaction

 (i) Ba²⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) --> BaSO₄ (s)

Total entropy change ΔS° < 0 or negative

During this reaction aqueous i.e liquid phase converted into solid phase.

So randomness  decreases and hence entropy also decreases.

(ii) 2 NO₂ (g) --> N₂ (g) + 2 O₂ (g)       ΔS° > 0 or positive

Since no. of gaseous moles increases from reactants to products.

(iii) C₅H₁₂ (g) + 8 O₂ (g) --> 5 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g)  ΔS° > 0 or positive

Since no. of gaseous moles increases from reactants to products.

(iv)   2 NaClO₃ (s) --> 2 NaCl (s) + 3 O₂ (g)  ΔS° > 0 or positive

Since no. of gaseous moles increases from reactants to products.

(v)  2 Na (s) + Cl₂ (g) --> 2 NaCl (s) ΔS° < 0 or negative

Since no. of gaseous moles decreases from left to right so entropy also decreases.

(vi) CH₃OH (l) --> CH₃OH (g)     ΔS° > 0 or positive

Because during this phase transition Liquid to gaseous randomness increases and hence entropy also increases.

The weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Answers

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Weight :It is defined as the measure of force exerted upon the object by the gravity. It is measured in Newtons.

W=mg, where W= Weight , m = mass of the object , g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Here the given statement is False, the correct statement will be:

The density of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume.

I would say false :D

What is the percentage of water to the nearest tenth in this compound? Ba(OH)2 * 8H2O

Answers

mass of water: 8 * 18 g = 144 g
mass of Ba(OH)2 = 171.3 g

total mass: 144 g + 171.3 g =  315.3 g

percentage of water: (144 g / 315.3 g) * 100% = 45.67%
