Why are metals so much better at conducting than other solids

Physics
1 answer:
Over [174]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metals are by far better conductors of electricity than most solids because individual atoms in a metal form a matrix which their outer electrons can move freely. These atoms form a "sea" of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

Solids are usually rigid substances with their atoms in a fixed place unable to move freely.

3.5 g of a hydrocarbon fuel is burned in a vessel that contains 250. grams of water initially at 25.00 C. After the combustion,
kherson [118]

Answer:

3.) 463 J/g

Explanation:

Heat given by the fuel is used to increase the temperature of the water

so it is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here we will have

m = 250 g

\Delta T = 26.55 - 25

now we also know that

s = 4186

so we have

Q = (0.250)(4186)(26.55 - 25)

Q = 1622.075 J

so 3.5 g fuel gives above energy

so per gram of fuel will have total energy given as

Q = \frac{1622.075}{3.5}

Q = 463.45 J/g
