Conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. Since heat is energy associated with the motions of the particles making up the substance, it is transferred by such motions, shifting from regions of higher temperature, where the particles are more energetic, to regions of lower temperature. The rate of heat flow between two regions is proportional to the temperature difference between them and the heat conductivity of the substance. In solids, the molecules themselves are bound and contribute to conduction of heat mainly by vibrating against neighboring molecules; a more important mechanism, however, is the migration of energetic free electrons through the solid. Metals, which have a high free-electron density, are good conductors of heat, while nonmetals, such as wood or glass, have few free electrons and do not conduct as well. Especially poor conductors, such as asbestos, have been used as insulators to impede heat flow (see insulation). Liquids and gases have their molecules farther apart and are generally poor conductors of heat. Conduction of electricity consists of the flow of charges as a result of an electromotive force, or potential difference. The rate of flow, i.e., the electric current, is proportional to the potential difference and to the electrical conductivity of the substance, which in turn depends on the nature of the substance, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. In solids, electric current consists of a flow of electrons; as in the case of heat conduction, metals are better conductors of electricity because of their greater free-electron density, while nonmetals, such as rubber, are poor conductors and may be used as electrical insulators, or dielectrics. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a given conductor will increase the current because more electrons will be available for conduction. Increasing the temperature will inhibit conduction in a metal because the increased thermal motions of the electrons will tend to interfere with their regular flow in an electric current; in a nonmetal, however, an increase in temperature improves conduction because it frees more electrons.
Answer:
The correct answer is 5s
Explanation:
Strontium atomic number = 38
Electronic configuration is 
As 
orbital is valence orbital in strontium, the outer electrons exists in that orbital only.
Answer:
If they are pushing off the wall, it would be B, as they are going faster. If they are slowing down, it would probably be A, gradually getting slower.
Explanation:
Atomic mass is the decimal number that is on the periodic table...
Boron's atomic mass is 10.81
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of N (7 electrons): 1s² 2s² 2p³.
The orbital 1s is filled with two electrons and their spinning direction is opposite and also electrons of 2s.
3p contains (3 electrons) should fill the 3 orbitals firstly. Every orbital contains 1 electron and be in the same spin direction.
So, the right choice is c.
A is wrong because 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.
B is wrong because the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and also 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.
D is also wrong the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and the electron in the second orbital of 3p are in opposite direction of the other 2 electrons.
