More valence electrons and larger atomic radius are facts most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.
Alex17521 [72]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A substance is able to conduct electricity if it has or contains free electrons.

This also means that larger is the atomic radius of a metal lesser will the force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. As a result, it can easily lose its valence electrons.

Therefore, availability of free electrons is easy in that case.

Also, more is the number of valence electrons a metal contains more is the number of electrons participating in conducting electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that a combination of more valence electrons and larger atomic radius factors is most suitable for increasing the electrical conductivity of metals.

choli [55]

Answer:

trigonal planar

Explanation:

The molecule SO3 is of the type AX3. The molecule is symmetrical and non polar.

There are three regions of electron density in the molecule. This corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry. This means that the three oxygen atoms are arranged at the corners of a triangle.  The bond angle is 120 degrees.

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 126 mol of hydrogen gas and 58 mol of oxygen gas.
Elden [556K]

Since a water molecule is H2O, you would divide 126 hydrogen molecules by 2, and you would get 63. That means you have 63 double hydrogen molecules, and 58 oxygen molecules to pair up with them. So that means you could have 58 molecules of water, with 5 double hydrogen molecules, so basically 10 extra molecules of hydrogen along with the H2O molecules. Hope I helped! :)

Since orbital period depends on how far you are from the sun, planets closer to the sun have a orbital period less than one earth year.

These planets are Mercury and Venus
