What is the most likely reason that nonmetals are electrical insulators?

Chemistry

creativ13 [48]3 years ago

The reason nonmetals are electrical insulator is since valence shells in nonmetal atoms are almost full, the atoms attract electrons and hold them tightly to fill their valence. The reason why it acts as an insulator is the high ionization energy it has. It prevents any electron from leaving an atom easily even when an electric field is applied.

How does the number of coupons you use affect the amount of money you save?
slega [8]
Using coupons seems like an old-fashioned, time-consuming way to save a few cents on the products you buy at the grocery store. After all, most coupons don't usually have a face value of more than $1 and, quite often, they're worth far less. But done properly, couponing can save you thousands of dollars every year.

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}
