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.

3.311x divided by 10^25 particles= ? moles
algol13

Answer:

5.5 moles of given substance.

Explanation:

The given problem can be solved by using the Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

Solution:

3.311 ×10²⁵ / 6.022 × 10²³ = moles

5.5 moles of given substance.
