Describe and explain how electrical conductivity occurs in mercury bromide and mercury, in both solid and molten states.

Chemistry
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

HgBr2 conducts when molten because there are mobile ions in molten HgBr which allows flow of current when an electrical potential difference is introduced to the HgBr in molten state

However  HgBr2 does not conduct in the solid state as the ions are fixed in the solid HgBr2 lattice structure

Mercury, which is a metal in its natural form conducts both in the solid and molten states as the delocalized electrons are able to move both in the solid and molten mercury states and as such current flows through mercury when there is an electrical potential difference placed across it

Explanation:

Electricity or electric current flow is the term used to describe the state of movement or flow of matter that carries an electrical charge

It is the steady movement of or flow of electrons. The moving electrons transfer electrical charge round an electrical circuit. In metals, there are freely shared electrons between individual atoms so as to efficiently conduct electricity and so when an electrical potential difference is placed across a piece of  metallic object an electron is readily displaced by another electron entering from one end and exiting from the other end of the electrical potential difference

what are some negative impacts on the environment and society when the water cycle is disrupted and drought occurs ?
Alborosie

Some of the negative impact of disruption in water cycle are adverse environment, with affected farming, hydroelectricity, and deforestation.

The water cycle has been operated in the environment for the conversion of water in the different states. The water cycle has been operated with the conversion of water from the water body to the clouds by evaporation.

The evaporated water has resulted in clouds, that have been condensed and precipitated in the form of rain. The water cycle helps in maintaining the water balance in the ecosystem. It made the water available for use as well.

The drought has been the condition of the scarcity of water. In this condition, there has been a disruption of the water cycle. Some of the negative impacts resulting from the disruption of the water cycle are:

  • Adverse environmental conditions
  • Farming affected by water scarcity
  • Unavailability of hydroelectricity
  • Deforestation

PLEASE HELP ILL GIVE U BRAINLIEST<br> What's something you learned about the periodic table
valina [46]

Answer:

The periodic table of elements puts all the known elements into groups with similar properties. This makes it an important tool for chemists, nanotechnologists, and other scientists. If you get to understand the periodic table and learn to use it, you'll be able to predict how chemicals will behave.

How are science and technology related
KatRina [158]

There is no answer, science is about empirical knowledge, technology is the sum of techniques, skills, methods, and processes. I do not believe that you will find a answer for that.
