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.

We know that :
1 cal (th) = 4.184 J
1 J = 0.2390057361 cal (th) , so :

•55.2 j to cal > 13.193116635 cal
•110 call > 460.24 joule
•65 kj > divide the energy value by 4.184
= 15.535 kilocalories calorie (IT)

Converting form C to F > (F-32)*5/9Understand it better if we have Fahrenheit just add to the equation mentioned to find Celsius.
+to find F to C> (9/5*C)+32

•425 Fahrenheit = (425- 32) × 5/9 =218.33333333 Celsius

•1935 C = 3515 F
———————————-
Converting Celsius to kelvin,We know that :
K = C + 273.15
C = K - 273.15
And from F to K=9/5(F+459.67)
And K to F =(9/5 *k)-459.67
•39.4 Celsius = 312.55 kelvin
•337 Fahrenheit = (337+ 459.67) × 5/9 =442.594 kelvin
