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

Chemistry
2 answers:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago
7 0

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.

At a particular temperature, K 3.39 for the reaction SO2(9) + NO2(9) SOs(9) +NO(9) If all four gases had initial concentrations
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentrations are:

[SO2]=[NO2] =  0.563 M

[SO3]=[NO] =  1.04 M

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Equilibrium constant K = 3.39

[SO2] = [NO2] = [SO3] = [NO] = 0.800 M

<u>To determine:</u>

The equilibrium concentrations of the above gases

Calculation:

Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction

         SO2(g) + NO2(g)\rightleftharpoons  SO3(g) + NO(g)

I                0.800      0.800                                  0.800       0.800

C                -x               -x                                         +x             +x

E              (0.800-x)   (0.800-x)                             (0.800+x)   (0.800+x)

The equilibrium constant is given as:

Keq = \frac{[SO3][NO]}{[SO2][NO2]}=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}

3.39=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}

x = 0.2368 M

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.800 -x = 0.800 - 0.2368 = 0.5632 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 0.800 +x = 0.800 + 0.2368 = 1.037 M

Oxidative phosphorylation could not occur without glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, because _____.
katrin [286]

Answer:

these two processes supply the electrons that are needed for the electron transport chain

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is the process in which electrons transfer from electron donors to electron acceptors (usually oxygen). These reactions are called redox reactions, and they provide energy used to form ATP.

Electron donors (NADH and FADH2) used in oxidative phosphorylation are produces in some of the catabolic biochemical processes, such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and beta oxidation. The NADH and FADH2 are energy-rich molecules because each of them contains a pair of electrons thus having a high transfer potential. Because of that, oxidative phosphorylation could not happen without first obtaining electron donors in glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
