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 :)

What is the rate constant of a reaction if rate = 0.2 (mol/L)/s, [A] and [B] are each 3 M, m = 1, and n = 2?
tino4ka555 [31]
M= 1 and n = 2
( m+ n =  1 +2  = 3)

rate = K [A] [B]^2

0.2  = K *  3  * 3 ^2
0.2 =  K  *  3 * 9 
 K =    0.2   / 27 
K =   7.408 *  10 ^ -3  m^-2  s^-1

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
