Answer:

Copper has metallic bond and conducts electricity whereas sugar has covalent bond and does not conduct electricity.  

Explanation:

Copper is a metal. Metallic bonding allows the conduction of electricity. In metals electrons are loosely bond to an array of metallic cations. The loosely bound electron clouds are responsible for the conduction of electricity.  

Sugar has covalent bonds. In a covalent bond there is a shared pair of electron between two electronegative atoms. As the electrons are mutually shared they are not readily available for the conduction of electricity.

Consider this equilibrium: I2(s) + H2O(l) H + (aq) + I-(aq) + HOI(aq). What is the Keq expression for this equilibrium?
MrRa [10]
<span>The Keq expression for I2(s) + H2O(l) H + (aq) + I-(aq) + HOI(aq) equilibrium is H2(g) + I2(g) <----> 2 HI(g).In this Keq expression hydrogen reacts with iodine gives Hydrogen Iodide.HI is a diatomic molecule and it is one of the primary source of iodine which act as a reducing agent.Totally it is the reverse chemical equilibrium reaction.</span>
