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

Chemistry

creativ13 [48]2 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.

What effect does a catalyst have on a system in equilibrium?
irina1246 [14]

A catalyst is when a chemical reaction occurs faster than normal.

The system is unaffected during a catalyst because both forward and reverse reactions are affected, meaning that quilibrium will occur faster nothing will change.

You are given an unknown type of clothing dye. how could you use the procedures in this lab to see if this dye is a mixture?
Arte-miy333 [17]
One separation technique to be used is the paper chromatography. This works by separating the components of the mixture through the difference of their concentrations. There is a stationary phase and the mobile phase, which flows through the stationary phase. The components travel at different rates and is usually signified by the colors. If more than one color would appear, that means that the dye is a mixture.

What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry?
stealth61 [152]

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.

Structures of compounds people use every day are shown. From which group of unsaturated hydrocarbons is each derived? 2 carbons
Savatey [412]

The group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds are compounds which contains carbon and hydrogen

Some few classes or organic compounds or hydrocarbons are as follows:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkynes
  • Alkanols
  • Alkanoic acid
  • Ketones
  • Esters

So therefore, the group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>
