Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ionic compounds don't conduct electricity very well because the charge carriers can't move through the crystal. They can conduct heat because the kinetic energy itself is the "heat carrier”.

Hope this helps :)

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.

Which pH value represents a solution with the lowest OHM<br> ion concentration?
Arlecino [84]

pH value 1 represents a solution with the lowest OH⁻ion concentration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is given by the expression as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

If the pH is lower than 7, pH < 7 then it is acidic

If the pH = 7, then it is neutral

If the pH > 7, then it is basic

If pH is 1 then the solution is showing mostly acidic character,which is least basic in its character.

So if the pH is 1, which is most acidic and least basic solution that is lowest OH⁻ ion concentration.

a material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have six cubic centimeters of the substance. What is the material's mass in grams?
Svet_ta [14]
If the formula for density=m/v, you can manipulate this formula to the the mass. After manipulation, you get the equation for mass to be: m=density * volume. With density and volume given, we can find the mass.

mass= (8.9) * 6 = 53.4grams

A flashbulb of volume 1.70 mL contains O2(g) at a pressure of 2.30 atm and a temperature of 18.0°C. How many grams of O2(g)
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

0.0001637 mol

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Very important formula in chem

2.3 atm * 0.0017 L = n * 0.082057 * 291 K

= 0.0001637 mol O2

This concept is very important in chem, practice it.
