Answer:

The bonds prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, so a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are those bonds that form between the ions of molecules. It is formed as a result of electrostatic attraction between the molecules or compounds. The ionic bonds that forms between ionic compounds are responsible for certain properties exhibited by them.

Ionic bonds hold the molecules of ionic compounds so tightly that it prevent ions from moving throughout the crystal, hence, a solid ionic compound is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

What does the atomic number tell you about the element

jonny [76]

It tells you how many protons it has and because the number of protons =electrons it tells you also the number of electrons.

PLEASE HELP ME, 20 POINTS

Marrrta [24]

Explanations:

Question 1: Lithium in 20.00+ g is C. or D., but 25.00+ g is D. which means this is the correct option.

I am unsure of Question 2. I don't think it is mole though.

Question 3: Boron in 25.00-30.00 g is B. or D., but 25.00 g would be C.

Question 4: 2.393 x 1024 atoms of Oxygen is 63.58 mole O. I don't know for sure, but I think this is correct.

I am NOT professional. There is a chance I am incorrect. Please reply to me if I've made a mistake.

Write down examples of some natural acids and natural bases. Also write use of them.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Formic acid, citric acid, Oxalic acid, washing soda, baking soda, etc. can be some examples of natural acids and natural bases. They both have domestic, industrial, and various other purposes.

Explanation:

<h3>NATURAL ACIDS:</h3>

There are lots of natural acids present in our nature. Some of them are the following:

> Formic acid

USE: It is used in the stimulation of oil and gas wells as it is less reactive towards the metal.

> Citric acid

USE: It is considered as the best rust remover as it doesn't harm the metal just remove the rust.

> Oxalic acid

USE: It easily remove iron and ink stains and that's why it is used as an acid rinsing material in Laundries.

<h3>NATURAL BASES:</h3>

There is a variety of natural base found in our nature which founds a lot of uses in day to day life. some of them are the following:

> Washing soda

USE: It is used in commercial detergent mixture to treat hard water.

> Baking soda

USE: It is the best rising agent used mostly in cooking and for domestic purposes like removing stains, etc..
