Covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.
mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as a compound formed due to sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

As we know that like dissolves like. So, when a covalent compound is added to water then it will not dissociate into ions. Hence, it will not dissolve due to which it will not conduct electricity.

Since, we know that electricity is the flow of ions or electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that covalent compounds do not conduct electric current in a water solution well because they do not dissociate into ions.

Explain the role light plays on the rate<br> of photosynthesis.
Luda [366]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.

Force = 2.32 N<br> Acceleration = 0.19 m/s2<br> Mass= ?
Mkey [24]

mass = 12.2 kg

Explanation:

To find the mass we use the following formula (Newton's Second Law of Motion):

force = mass × acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 2.32 N / 0.19 m/s²

mass = 12.2 kg

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
