On the basis of chemical structure, which solid will most easily conduct electricity?

Chemistry

Marizza181 [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.

In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.

In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.

Nitric acid (HNO3) is used in the production of fertilizer, dyes, drugs, and explosives. Calculate the pH of a HNO3 solution hav
Alona [7]

Answer:

pH of HNO₃ having an hydrogen ion concentration of 0.71M is 0.149

Explanation:

HNO₃ (aqueous) ⇄ H⁺ + NO3⁻

The pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration

pH = - log [H⁺]

From the question, the hydrogen ion concentration is given as 0.71M, therefore

pH = -log [0.71]

     = 0.149
