Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are held in a lattice and do not move freely. However, when they are melted or dissolved in water, they can conduct electricity. This is because the ions are free to move in the molten state or aqueous solution.

An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas __________. a have a molecular weight of zero b have
Rasek [7]
An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas have no attraction for one another. 
An ideal gas is defined as one in which collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly elastic and in which there are no inter-molecular attractive forces. A real gas on the other hand is a gas that does not behave as an ideal gas due to interactions between gas molecules. Particles in a real gas have a real volume since real gases are made up of molecules or atoms that typically take up some space even though they are extremely small.

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH?

Explanation:

A salt is a neutral ionic compound. Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and a salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl

Hope that helped.

If an object has two forces acting on it how can the next force equal 0
Flura [38]

If the forces are equal and in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero.

Consider a tug-of-war team. If they are pulling with equal forces against each other, the red cloth on the rope will not move.

<em>F = ma </em>

The cloth is not moving, so <em>a = </em>0 and the net force <em>F = </em>0.
