Na because its a metal. Metals are the best conductors. S and Ne are nonmetals. and Ge is a metalloid. (Metalloids are semi conductors)

The correct option is SODIUM, Na.

Out of all the options given above, it is only sodium that is a metal, the other ones are non metals and metalloid. Generally, metals are good conductor of heat and electricity because they have electrons, which are able to move about and thus they are thus able to conduct electricity round a circuit. Metals are generally bonded together by strong metallic bonds so they have high melting and boiling points, which make them suitable as conductors.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonded materials

Explanation:

Metals have metallic bonds, polymers usually have covalent bonds and ceramic materials have covalent and ionic bonds; on the other hand, hydrogen bonds are a type of bonding characterized for have Van der Waals interactions, a type of intermolecular interactions, so the correct answer is Van der Waals interactions.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.400 mol HCl in 9.79 l solution?
Maslowich

Answer:

  • Option B, 0.0409 M

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) M = ?

b) n = 0.400 mol

V = 9.79 liters

<u>2) Formula:</u>

  • M = n / V (in liters)

<u>3) Solution:</u>

  • M = 0.400 mol / 9.79 liter = 0.04086 M

  • Since each data contain 3 significant digits, the answer must be reported with 3 significant digits. So, the correct answer is 0.0409 M, which is the option B.

Element M has two isotopes,^104M and ^106M.
snow_lady [41]
To calculate atomic mass, you have to take to weighted average of the isotopes' masses. What that means is M = RA*106 + (1 – RA)*104, where RA is relative abundance expressed in decimal form. If you simplify the right side of that equation, you get M = 2*RA + 104. Doing a little more algebra yields RA = (M –104)/2 = (104.4 – 104)/2 = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2, which is 20%. So the answer is B.
