Answer:
The increasing order of conductivity is O< Ge< Mn.
Explanation:
Electrical conductivity is defined as the measure of the ability of a material to conduct electrical current through it. The conductivity depends on the atomic and molecular structure of the material.
Metals are good conductors because they have a structure with many electrons with weak bonds, and this allows their movement instead non-metals have between four and eight valence electrons, which lack this tendency.
The conductivity increases in the periodic table from top to bottom and from right to left.
oxygen is a nonmetal therefore it is a bad conductor.
Germanium is a metalloid whose conductivity is greater than a nonmetal and worst than a metal.
Manganese is a metal,in this case, it is a good conductor.
The answer to the question is B......
<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>
The compound
is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.
Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.
Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in
