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.

Which of the following is true about nuclear fusion
Sonja [21]

Answer:

 i would assume that it would be (a)

Explanation:

The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion

NUCLEAR FISSION is when the heavy atom is split

fusion energy is scientifically feasible. Plasma conditions that are very close to those required in a fusion reactor are now routinely reached in experiments

mass gets lost is nuclear fusion

so (a) is the most accurate

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?
myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.

On the basis of le chatelier's principle explain why ag2co3 dissolves when hno3 is added
Bogdan [553]

The reaction is an equilibrium represented by the equation 

<span>Ag2CO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) <----> 2 AgNO3(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) </span>

From the <span>Le Chatelier's Principle which </span>states that changing a factor such as concentration, temperature, or pressure of a reaction at equilibrium will cause the reaction to shift in the direction that counteracts the effect of that change. 
Therefore; the CO2 produced starts escaping and the concentration and pressure of CO2 drops. The system responds by trying to increase the concentration and pressure of CO2 by producing more. This means more and more Ag2CO3 will dissolve due to reaction with the acid, HNO3. 
This continues until one of the reactants is exhausted.

Consider the formula for glucose: C6H12O6. What does this indicate about the relationship of the reactants to glucose?
stellarik [79]

The correct option is D.

The reactants that combine together to form glucose are carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun. Six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose. The chemical equation for the reaction is given below"

6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight = C6H12O6.
