High conductivity of metals is caused by electrons that are free to move through the lattice.
hope this helps!
Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
Answer:
9 moles of ions
Explanation:
Our compound is: CaCl₂(s)
We dissociate it:
CaCl₂(aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
Per 1 mol of chloride, we have 1 mol of calcium cation and 2moles of chlorides, so in total we have 3 moles of ions.
Therefore in 3 moles of chloride, we would have 9 moles of ions (3 . 3)
