What is conductivity?

Chemistry
2 answers:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago

Conductivity is a metal conduct heat and electricity well.

  • Delocalized electrons = easy electron movement.
  • Moving electrons carry current, thermal energy.
  • More valence electrons, larger atomic radius = higher conductivity.

Metals are malleable, ductile, and exhibit luster.

  • Delocalized electrons = easy to deform metal.
  • Easy electron movement = "flexible" bonds.
  • Metals = malleable and ductile instead of brittle.
  • Movement of electrons between bands = shiny, metallic luster.
  • Oscillation of electrons between bands emits light.

Hope this helps!

The degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the card density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity.

1. When two atoms with different electronegativities are bonded together, a bond dipole exists. These are displayed with an arro
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

In order: LOWER, HIGHER, NEGATIVE, POSITIVE, INCREASE

Explanation:

First you must consider the definition of electronegativity.

All in all, electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself. For this explanation, let's just consider the groups 1, 2, 13-17, and the noble gases of the periodic table. Furthermore, let's also consider the octet rule. The octet rule says that the last orbit of an atom tends to have 8 electrons in order to be stable.

If you take an atom like Sodium (Na) and search its distribution of electrons by levels, you'll see these number in the last two orbits: 8.1

The penultimate orbit has 8 electrons and the last one has only 1. Therefore, in order to futfill the octet rule what do you think it's easier? Losing the last electron and leaving the 8 electrones of the penultimate orbit as last orbit? Or maybe taking 7 electrons for the last orbit and, hence, futfilling the octet? Well, the answer is the first case.

The more you move from group to group (i.e, rightwards in the periodic table), more electrons will have in their last orbit.

So, in order to respond your question: Yes you should display it like this:

A --> B

Consider A and B two random atoms, for which B's electronegativity is higher than A's. This arrow shows the tendency of the electron flow.

As electrons go to the more electronegative atom, the whole electronic ''cloud'' will tend to be closer to B, because this atom is more electronegative. Hence, there will be a partial (not fixed) negative charge on B rather than on A. This is due to B's high electronegativity. This means that the negative charge will spend more time on B rather than on A, this is what partial negative charge means.

The higher the electronegativity is, the higher the magnitudes of the partial charges --> Therefore, these partial charges are increased and sometimes it might lead to the chemical bond breakage.

An exothermic reaction is conducted in an insulated calorimeter filled with water. The calorimeter is then sealed so that there
Vaselesa [24]
Answer: option <span>C. the total energy inside the calorimeter will decrease.
</span>

Justification:

The answer is a direct application of the first law of thermodynamic (the law of conservation of energy).

By telling that the t<span>he calorimeter is sealed so that there is no heat exchanged between the contents of the container and the surrounding air, the first law of thermodynamics implies that the total energy inside the calorimeter will not change.
</span>

<span>That statement, without adding any more is enough justification.
</span>

Regarding, the other statements, you can show they are true:

<span>A. the thermometer will show an increase in temperature.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Since the reaction is exothermic, the heat released will increase the temperature inside the sealed calorimeter,which, of course, is shown by the termometer.

</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>B. The potential energy of the products will be lower than that of the reactants.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In any exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants, because the heat released is lost by the reactants when they react and transform into the products.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>D. The water increases in temperature as the reaction gives off heat</span>.

Sure. The heat cannot leave the sealed calorimeter, but the water inside the calorimeter will absorb that heat: the molecules of water will gain kinetic energy and so its temperature will be increase.

What is the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell made up of atoms having a radius of 144 pm?
belka [17]

Answer:

407pm is the edge length of the cubic unit cell

Explanation:

In a Face-centered cubic unit you can use Pythagoras theorem to relate edge length with atomic radius (As you can see in the picture), thus:

e²+e² = (4r)²

2e² = 16r²

e = √8 r

If the atomic radius of the atom is 144pm:

e = √8 ×144pm

e = 407ppm

407pm is the edge length of the cubic unit cell
