Answer:
Explanation:
Ionic (or electrovalent) compounds conduct electricity when there they are in the aqueous state/solution because the charges of ions of these compounds are what carry the electric charges in the aqueous solution as a result of free movement within the aqueous solution which they do not "have" when in there solid state (where they have a highly restricted movement/compacted structure).

See explanation
Explanation:
Before the advent of the wave-particle duality theory proposed by Louis de Broglie, there was a sharp distinction between mater and waves.
However, Louis de Broglie introduced the idea that mater could display wave-like properties. Erwin Schrödinger developed this idea into what is now known as the wave mechanical model of the atom.
In this model, electrons are regarded as waves. We can only determine the probability of finding the electron within certain high probability regions within the atom called orbitals.
This idea has been the longest surviving atomic model and has greatly increased our understanding of atoms.
Answer:
B. CA, 14
Explanation:
Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.
For the compound 
, it can be broken down into 
and 
. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
Therefore:
For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.
The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.
And the number of neutrons is 14.
Only option B has the correct answer.
To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.
F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.
As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
When the block of iron is placed in water the volume of water that is displaced is 27.0 cm³
<u><em> calculation</em></u>
The volume water that is displaced is equal to volume of block of the iron
volume of block of iron = length x width x height
length= 3 cm
width = 3 cm
height = 3 cm
volume is therefore = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm³ therefore the volume displaced = 27 cm³ since the volume of water displaced is equal to volume of block.
