Each carbon atom is only bonded to 3 other carbons leaving one free delocalised electron to carry charge. Diamond however has carbons which are bonded to four other carbons therefore has no free electrons to move and carry charge hence not conducting electricity.

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "B." According to the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Option D) Compound B may have a lower molecular weight.

Explanation:

Compound A and B are standing at the same temperature yet compound A is evaporating more slowly than compound B.

This simply indicates that compound B have a lower molecular weight than compound A.

This can further be seen when gasoline and kerosene are placed under same temperature. The gasoline will evaporate faster than kerosene because the molecular weight of the gasoline is low when compared to that of the kerosene.

Consider the following balanced redox reaction:2CrO₂⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(l) + 6ClO⁻(aq) →
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The balanced  redox reaction are given below

2CrO₂⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(l) + 6ClO⁻(aq) →2CrO₄²⁻(aq) + 3Cl₂(g) + 4OH⁻(aq)

The Cl species is oxidizing agent .

There are following steps involve in balanced redox reaction in basic medium .

  • Divide the reaction into two half reactions .
  • Balance the elements other than oxygen and hydrogen .
  • Balance the oxygen atom by adding H_{2} O  .
  • Balance the hydrogen atom by adding H^{+} .
  • Balance the charge  by adding e^{-} .
  • Add OH^{-} on both side
  • Neutralize by combing  OH^{-} and  H^{+} .
  • Add the half reaction and simply .

The species which reduces the other species in the redox reaction is called oxidizing agent . Similarly , the species which oxidize the other species in the redox reaction  is called reducing agent .

The best answer is:

a. Extrusive igneous rocks

In general, rocks that are formed by the cooling of magma are classified as igneous rocks. The key word however in this case is "lava," which is magma that reached the surface. This is what makes it an extrusive igneous rock, because it formed in the surface.

The element X has three naturally occurring isotopes. The masses (amu) and % abundances of the isotopes are given in the table b
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

220.42098 amu

Explanation:

(220 .9 X  .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) =     220.42098 amu

These are weighted averages.

So, we will take mass of one and multiply by abundance percentage that is provided and add them together.

In order to calculate the  average atomic mass, we have to convert the percentages of abundance to decimals. So, you get

(220 .9 X  .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) =     220.42098 amu
