What is the most likely reason that nonmetals are electrical insulators

Chemistry

Luba_88 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Non metals are poor conductors of electricity as they have no free electrons in the outer most shell.

The poor conductors of the electricity is best to be used as insulators. These insulators can be used to protect the person from electrical shocks.

The valence shells in case of non metals are almost full, the atoms attracts the electrons and hold them tight and there is no electron left free to conduct electricity.

Hence, non metals are used as insulators.

Since valence shells in nonmetal atoms are almost full, the atoms attract electrons and hold them tightly to fill their valence shells.

Wine is approximately 12% ethanol (CH3CH2OH) by volume. Ethanol has a molar mass of 46.06 g/mol and a density 0.789 g/mL. How ma
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1.54 moles of pure ethanol are present in 750mL of wine

Explanation:

The sort of concentration 12% by volume, means that in 100 mL of solution (wine) 12 mL are pure ethanol

We use the density of pure ethanol to determine the mass:

Ethanol density = Ethanol mass / Ethanol volume

Ethanol density . Ethanol volume = Ethanol mass

0.789 g/mL . 12 mL = 9.47 g of ethanol

Now we can determine the moles: 9.47 g . 1 mol / 46.06 g = 0.205 moles

Now we can make a rule of three:

In 100 mL of solution (wine) we have 0.205 moles of pure ethanol

Then, in 750 mL of solution we may have (750 mL . 0.205) / 100 = 1.54 moles

a scientist has developed a new type of material that is suppose to float on water. this material has a mass of 2.0g for every 3
anzhelika [568]
<span>Yes, the material will float because it has a lower density than that of water. A material will float if it has a lower density than that of the liquid it's placed in. So let's first calculate the density of this new material. Density is simply mass per volume, so doing the division. 2.0 g / 3.0 cm^3 = 0.67 g/cm^3 The density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3 and since the density of the new material is less at 0.67 g/cm^3 it will float.</span>

zepelin [54]

Answer:

MITOSIS

Explanation:

In order for your cells to reproduce they must be capable of dividing into new cells. This means they must be able to divide the nucleus. This occurs during a process called mitosis. Mitosis is the process of splitting the cell's genetic material into two new nuclei.

What tricks to use to differentiate between Ionic and Covalent bonds
harina [27]
In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, whereas in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons. The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, whereas for ionic bonds they are both charged. ... Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal.
