Answer:
B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.
Explanation:
Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.
Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

What is the concentration of H+ ions in a 2.2 M solution of HNO3.
Answer:-
2.2 moles of H+ per litre
Explanation:-
M stands for molarity. 2.2 M means 2.2 moles of HNO3 is present per litre of the solution.
Now HNO3 has just 1 H in it's formula. HNO3 would give H+. So 2.2 moles of HNO3 would mean 2.2 moles of H+ per litre.
There are three subatomic particles known: (1) electron which is found outside the nucleus of an atom and (2 and 3) protons and neutrons which are both inside the nucleus. As they are outside the nucleus, it is easier to transport electron than any other subatomic particle. Thus, atom and its ion differ in the number of electrons.
