The correct answer is C. Insulators obstruct the flow of electrons whereas conductors allow electrons to flow freely.

Explanation:

Electricity refers to the flow or existence of an electrical charge that is connected to electrons. In this context, conductor materials refer to those materials that allow electricity to flow freely, this includes materials such as steel or copper. On the other hand, insulators are materials that stop or obstruct the flow of electrons and therefore the flow of electricity which includes materials such as wood or rubber. According to this, the statement that compares insulators and conductors is "Insulators obstruct the flow of electrons whereas conductors allow electrons to flow freely".

Which Ions oxidize aluminum?<br><br> Li^+, Ca^2+, Ag+, Sn^2+

pishuonlain [190]

Aluminum can be oxidized by $Li^{+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$

<h3>What is oxidizing?</h3>

Some of the metal corrodes (or oxidizes) and forms the corresponding metal oxide on the surface as a result of a chemical reaction between the metal surface and the oxygen in the air. The corrosion products that occur in some metals, like steel, are highly apparent and loose.

According to reactivity series (The array of metals in the descending order of their reactivities is referred to as the metals' reactivity series. It is sometimes referred to as the metals in the activity series.)

Lithium and calcium ions are more reactive than aluminum ion and they are less electronegative.

Since silver and tin are more electronegative than aluminum so, they cannot oxidize aluminum.

∴ $Li^{+}$ and $Ca^{+2}$ ions can oxidize aluminum.

Solve 4x-8x=-3 I need help

koban [17]

4x − 8x= −3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−8x = −3

4x + −8x= −3

(4x + −8x) = −3 (Combine Like Terms)

−4x = −3

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x / −4

−3 - / −4

so your answer will be x= 3/4 .
