You can easily answer this if you know the periodic trends. For the property of electrical conductivity, it decreases across a period and decreases also down a group. Thus, the most conductive element must be Mn, while the least conductive one is Ge. So, the answer is: <span><em>-Mn, O, Ge</em></span>

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D which is the decreasing order of conductivity is Mn, O, Ge.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Conductivity of an element is the ability of atoms of an element to pass energy.
  • There are many types of conductivities like electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity etc.
  • So this ability of atom depends actually upon the number of valence electrons in outer shell and feasibility to lose electrons.
  • According to periodic table, conductivity of element decreases across the period and down the group.
  • Hence the conductivity of Mn is high than O and Ge.
  • The O is higher conductivity after that Ge.
  • Ge is least conductive element in list.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

10.418*10²³

Explanation:

1) 6.022*10²³ moleculas in 1 mole PCl₅ (Avogadro's number);

2) in 1.73 moles: 6.022*10²³*1.73=10.418*10²³
