For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.
Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity
answer is 3) silver
Answer:
Step 1 should be convert atoms to moles (n). Step 2 should be convert moles (n) to mass (m).
Step 1
Use dimensional analysis to convert the number of atoms to moles.
1 mole atoms = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms
n(Ag) = 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms × (1 mol Ag/6.022 × 10²³ Ag atoms) = 3.8193 mol Ag
Step 2
Convert the moles of Ag to mass.
mass (m) = moles (n) × molar mass (M)
n(Ag) = 3.8193 mol Ag
M(Ag) = atomic weight on the periodic table in g/mol = 107.868 g Ag/mol Ag
m(Ag) = 3.8193 mol × 107.868 g/mol = 412 g Ag = 410 g Ag rounded to two significant figures
The mass of 2.3 × 10²⁴ Ag atoms is approximately 410 g.
Explanation:
Answer:
Chemical change :has change in mass, heat is needed, new element is formed, hard to reverse.......
Physicalchange:does not have change in mass, heat is not necessary, no new element is formed, easy to reverse
The name given to these electrons are that they are valence electrons or binding electrons as these are directly involved in chemical Bonding and allow for different compounds to be made.
