Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals. These are electronegative elements with high ionization energies. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite).

a solid with a low melting point is most likely what? A.ionic B. covalent C. metallic or D. None of the above.
ziro4ka [17]
The correct answer of the given question above would be option D. None of the above. When a solid has a low melting point, it is most likely a simple molecular substance. When it is ionic, covalent or metallic, it is already considered as a solid with a high melting point.

Methane and water react to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide, like this:
Usimov [2.4K]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in the temperature, pressure or concentration, then the equilibrium will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.

The given reaction is endothermic i.e, heat is supplied:

CH4(g) + H2O (g) + heat ↔ 3H2(g) + CO(g)

a) When the temperature is lowered, heat is being removed from the system. The reaction will move in a direction to produce more heat i.e. to the left.

Hence, the pressure of CH4 will increase and equilibrium will shift to the left

b) When the temperature is raised, heat is being added to the system. The reaction will move in a direction to consume the added heat i.e. to the right.

Hence, the pressure of CO will increase and equilibrium will shift to the right

How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?
amid [387]

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.
