The insulator is not a characteristic of metals and their ability to form metallic bonds.

C) insulator

Explanation:

Atoms quickly lose electrons to form positive ions in metals. Further, the delocalized electrons that surround these ions are responsible for their conductivity. The electrostatic interactions between ions and the electron cloud are called the metallic bond.

The physical properties include malleability, thermal, ductility, strength, opacity, conductivity, and luster. Malleability is the deformation property, and ductility is the stretching capacity of atoms in a metallic bond.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) insulator

Explanation:

The characteristics of metals consist of conductivity (for example of heat), malleability (deformation property) and ductility (stretching capacity).

Acetylene gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen gas, producing

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 1.2 moles of carbon dioxide is produced for the given value of oxygen.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction for the combustion of acetylene follows the equation:

$2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

5 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of carbon dioxide.

So, 1.5 moles of oxygen will produce = $\frac{4}{5}\times 1.5=1.2mol$ of carbon dioxide.

Hence, 1.2 moles of carbon dioxide is produced for the given value of oxygen.
