Answer:

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.

4. Which of these are environmental costs of using

Vinvika [58]

Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must be disposed of.

c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean if reactors are near the coast.

d. A large amount of cold water is generated, which must be stored somewhere.

Explanation:

The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.

Answer:

Co(cobalt) is the answer

Explanation:

Cobalt is a chemical element with the symbol Co and atomic number 27. Like nickel, cobalt is found in the Earth's crust only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal.
