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.

a block of iron has the dimensions of 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm. it has a mass of 213 g. what is its density? a. 638 g/cm3 b.
Juliette [100K]
Volume = 3 cm × 3cm × 3cm
             =  27 cm ³

Mass  =  213 g

Density  =  \frac{MASS}{VOLUME}
 
              = <span>\frac{213 g}{27 cm ^{3} }
</span> 
<span>              =  7.89 g / cm³

Thus answer is D.</span>

9 grams of hydrogen gas (H2) will SC  Johnson need to react in order to make 1 bottle of Windex.

Explanation:

Balance equation for the formation of ammonia from H2 gas.

N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2 NH_{3}

Given

mass of ammonia in 1 bottle of windex = 51 gram

atomic mass of ammonia 17.01 gram/mole

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

number of moles = \frac{51}{17.01}

                               = 3 moles of ammonia is formed.

in 1 bottle of windex there are 3 moles of ammonia 0r 51 grams of ammonia.

From the equation it can be found that:

3 moles of hydrogen reacted to form 2 moles of ammonia

so, x moles of hydrogen will react to form 3 moles of ammonia.

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{x}

x = 4.5 moles of hydrogen will be required.

to convert moles into gram formula used:

mass = atomic mass x number of moles  (atomic mass of H2 is 2grams/mole)

        = 2 x 4.5

        = 9 grams of hydrogen.

28. Which statement is INCORRECT regarding radiation?
mash [69]

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Periodic Table

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atoms called radionuclides.
