How does electrical conduction compare between metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

Physics
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

metal> metalloids >nonmetals    (Electrical conductivity)

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity of objects can be compared by the bonding energy of electrons in them.

Metals have less bonding energy of electrons, so even at room temperature their are significant number of free electrons to carry electrical current.

Nonmetals have a very high bonding energy of electrons, so  at room temperature negligible number of free electrons are present so electrical conductivity is very low.

Metalloids have both metallic and non metallic features. The electron bonding energy falls in between that of metals and nonmetals. So electrical conductivity also lies in between metals and nonmetals.

Hey how's your day going

I hope after I answer that you understand and don't just paste my answer into your assignment!!! (<- read!!!)

Answer \|/

             

Ice is less dense than water.

Reason why \|/

                   

When water freezes the molecules inside completely stop moving (They still vibrate but don't change their position much). In doing so, they spread out a touch which makes it less dense than liquid water. So ice floats

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Where, dT=T_{1}-T_{2}

Here, T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}

T_{0} = 25°C  (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)

c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}

c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute

Hence, This is the required answer.

Is our existence a mistake of chemical reactions in the universe
Yuki888 [10]
This is my opinion so don't really take my word for it, but we as humans are an evolved species of mammals. So we are a lot more complex in our structure than most animals or insects, but then again through history we made lots of discoveries because we created new technology or out of pure curiosity tried new thing like building better civilizations, even though ours today is destroying the earth but besides the point, and new materials that we can use and all that. So we have made mistakes but that doesn't always mean we are a mistake as a whole

Answer:

Matter can be changed, but not created or destroyed.

Explanation:

Matter can change for through physical and chemical changes, though this happens, matter is conserved. The same amount of matter exists before and after the change.
