Answer: d: They are poor conductors of heat and electricity .

Explanation:

Although is common knowledge that metals are characterized by high electrical conductivity and heat conductivity, these properties can be justified by looking at the metallic bonding.

In a metal, the bonding electrons are delocalized over the entire crystal. In fact, metal atoms in a crystal can be imagined as an array of positive ions immersed in a sea of delocalized valence electrons.The mobility of the delocalized electrons makes metals good conductors of heat and electricity.

when a number in scientific notation contains a significant zero, is that zero also significant in the expanded notation? give t

AlexFokin [52]

I believe you are referring zero as the exponent. Any number (except 0) with exponent 0 is defined to mean 1.

For one thing, there is a rule:

a^m/ a^m = a^m-m = a^0

But (when a is not equal to 0),

a^m/ a^m = 1

Therefore, we must define a^0 as 1.

The graph shows the solubility of several different salts in water, across a range of temperatures. According to the

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Sodium chloride

See the graph attached

Explanation:

The attached graph with a green and a red arrow facilitates the understanding of this explanation.

To read the solubility on the graph, you can start with the temperature, on the x-axis.

The red vertical arrow shows how, departing from the 40ºC temperature on the x-axis, you intersect the solutibility curve of sodium chloride at a height (y-axis) corresponding to 60 g/100cm³ of water (follow the green horizontal arrow).

Hence, sodium chloride is the salt that can dissolve at a concentration of about 60g/100cm³ of water at 40ºC.

Why would a pregnant mother need more calcium than a woman her age that is not pregnant?

inessss [21]

Besides building teeth and bones, calcium also keeps your blood and muscles moving and helps your nerves send messages from your brain to the rest of your body. Your body can't make calcium, so you need to get it from food or supplements. While you're pregnant, try to get at least 1,000 mg of calcium every day.
