Copper (Cu) is often used for electrical wiring and cooking pans. However, iron (Fe) is much more common on Earth than copper. W

hy might copper be used instead of iron, if iron is easier to obtain? A link to the periodic table has been provided for your use.

What iron gives in its abundance, it takes away in it's inability to really conduct heat and electricity well. There is enough copper around, if we are careful in its use, to make copper bottomed pots and pans. Of the three best conductors in the world (silver, gold and copper) only copper has enough around and can be inexpensively mined that we make use of it.

If you google dr. copper, you will find he is an economist as well. Copper measures the wealth of an economy by how much is used. So iron might be cheaper and more abundant, but copper will save you much more in trying to do something with it.

thats so wrong its  

Fe has fewer valence electrons than Cu.

Fe has a lower conductivity than Cu.

The lower conductivity of Fe makes it less useful for wiring and cookware.

Fe is less malleable and ductile than Cu.

The lower malleability and ductility of Fe make it less easy to form into wires or sheets.

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.

How many hydrogen grams can be obtained if
kipiarov [429]

hi im breanna

Answer:

The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,  

6.022

×

10

23

, that has a special property. If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

 

H

2

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

 

C

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of  

C

, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of  

O

2

are required to react with the  

C

, which I could measure by mass or by volume.

Briefly compare and contrast the relative resistance to ph change of the seven solutions
JulsSmile [24]
PH  stands for "Potential Hydrogen" and the PH scale ranges from 0-14. PH refers to the ability to attract hydrogen ions.

The PH of a solution either indicates acidity of the solution or alkalinity of the solution. A solution which has PH 7 above is a base solution where a solution with PH less than 7 is an acidic solution.

What is Avogadro's number, and why is it useful? (3 points)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

6.022 x 10²³; it is a conversion factor between moles and number of particles

Explanation:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole of hydrogen  = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

238 g of uranium = 1 mole of uranium = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of uranium

By taking ions:

62 g of NO⁻₃ =  1 mole of  NO⁻₃  = 6.022 × 10²³ ions of  NO⁻₃

96 g of SO₄²⁻ = 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ =  6.022 × 10²³ ions of  SO₄²⁻
