What defining feature makes a material an insulator?

Chemistry

A defining feature of a material that is a good insulator would be its ability to stop or cancel an electric charge of another material. This happens because the molecules in the material are stable and there are no free electrons that would allow the charges to flow.

The mass number of an atom is 15, and its atomic number is 7. The atom probably has... 8 neutrons in the nucleus. about as much
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         15 = 7 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 15 - 7

                                               = 8

Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.

On the addition of HI
victus00 [196]

Answer:

CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

Explanation:

Given the compound CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

The steps of reaction:

HI \longrightarrow H^+ + I^-

CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + H^+ \longrightarrow CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

<u>But this intermediate product has a resonance: </u>

CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 \longleftrightarrow C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

The reaction with I-

CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

Which aqueous solution has the lowest freezing point c6h12o6, c2h5oh, ch3cooh, or nacl?
Eddi Din [679]
Depression of a freezing point of the solutions depends on the number of particles of the solute in the solution.
1 mol of C6H12O6 after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C6H12O6 does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of C2H5OH after dissolving in water still be 1 mol, because C2H5OH does no dissociate in water.
1 mol of NaCl after dissolving in water gives 2 mol of particles (ions), because NaCl is a strong electrolyte(as salt) and completely dissociates in water.
NaCl ----->Na⁺ + Cl⁻
1 mol of CH3COOH after dissolving in water gives more than 1 mol but less than 2 moles, because CH3COOH is a weak electrolyte (weak acid) and dissociates  only partially. 

So, most particles of the solute is going to be in the solution of NaCl, 
so<span> the lowest freezing point has the aqueous solution of NaCl.</span>

Which statement describes the location of metalloids on the periodic table? The metalloids are located below metals and above no
Talja [164]
The metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Geranium, etc and are found to the right of the metals and the left of the nonmetals. Since that is not an option, the best choice would be: The metalloids are located below nonmetals and above metals within a group.
