Why are ionic solids poor conductors of electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]4 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 :)

Convert each quantity to the indicated units. a. 3.01g to cg. b. 6200m to km
miss Akunina [59]

a. 301 cg

b. 6.2 km

Explanation:

a. knowing that 1 gram (g) is equal to 100 centigrams (cg) we devise the following reasoning:

if        1 g is equal to 100 cg

then  3.01 g are equal to X cg

X = (3.01 × 100) / 1 = 301 cg

b. knowing that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m) we devise the following reasoning:

if         1 km is equal to 1000 m

then   Y km are equal to 6200 m

Y = (6200 × 1) / 1000 = 6.2 km

What is the mass of ether(0.71) which can be put into a beaker holding 130ml
UkoKoshka [18]
D=m/v    ⇒ m=d*v

d=density
m=mass
v=volume

d(ether)=0.71 gr/cm³=0.71 gr/ ml
v=130 ml

m=d*v
m=0.71 gr/ml*(130 ml)=92.3 g

Solution: m=92.3 g

For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this
Rom4ik [11]

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.
